@@kevinlong1942 G’day mate. Yes, with in reason. You wouldn't want it any smaller or to big. In saying that some of the slightly bigger drill press have a lower reduction which would be ideal.
Is your adjusting valve a ball valve or gate valve ? And does the 25mm galv hex nipple fit through the bottom of the hopper without cutting or drilling and then 25mm back nut on each side?
@@bernardwood6070 I used a ball valve, however I'm sure a gate valve would work fine. By memory I drilled it out bigger with a step drill bit. And yes a nut on top and bottom 😃👍🏻
@@rustyinspirations no worries I got a 25mm to 20 mm to go through the hole in the bottom and two 20mm nuts, will try and put it through the bottom tomorrow as didn't want to drill it out. Wish you had the part number for the valve you used as I've been unable to find it at Bunnings and how you stepped it down into the 25mm T piece
Mate where'd you get the valve for minor adjustments from ? and the plate for the other air outlet near the light switch? I'm in Adelaide as well picked one up for $199 today at SCA
Very good video buddy , I’m only looking to make one so I can get lawn plugs for planting in other spots around the place , this might just do the trick.👍
Correct 😃 I was originally going to use a motorbike clutch with the heavy cable. But it really wasn't necessary. And I much rather preferred the short BMX lever
Mine is froze up. I checked oil, fine, pulled plug, still cant pull it, checked if pressure of pump, still cant pull. Sprayed W-10 into Cylinder, now to crank with a wrench to see of i can move it. This is a Pressure Washer!
G’day mate. Unfortunately a lockup engine isn't always a simple hydraulic lock fix. It could be the pull cord, Or it could be something internal in the engine And sometimes catastrophic. In your instance it could possibly be the pump its self that is locked up. You could test this by separating the engine from the pump to narrow down where the problem lies. 😃
Your jokes made me chuckle mate :) Got this fuel lock on a ride on, cheers for explaining how the carb is flooding the engine, will do this tomorrow. Hi from England 🌏
Mate did you Do a video getting your lawn back down to cylinder height. Good honest review there love your work. I am missing a vid or 2 of you mowing your lawn thou. Cheers. 🌱🌱
Cheers mark😃 I've got a half edited vid on the computer. I haven't had time to finish it off. I'd love to get it done ready for the weekend 🤞🏻🤞🏻. Thanks again 😃👍🏻
Thanks for making these videos. I have the red pulleys like your neighbours and need a new engine/motor. Think if I stick with petrol power, I'll go the 2:1 box. 1:1 would be crazy fast 😂
You covered everything I need to know. I just got one of these mowers as a hobby and this is really good information. As far as how to sharping blades, each person needs to find their own way / use what works for you . If there's 10 ways to do something ..... Pick one 🙂🙂🙂
I'm glad it helped😃 You might also like the diy back lapping machine if you haven't already watched it? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bD_aE6_HThI.htmlsi=euS5Nl4KzOqa_hSD
A proper honest review. I don't know why that company reaches out to people who use cylinder mowers. Once I can't walk I might consider Thanks again Rusty
Gday Robert, yes I do agree. But I couldn't not take them up on the opportunity to play with some new tech 😃. I'm sure By the time we can't walk they will be reliable and will have robot cylinder mowers 🤣👍🏻
None of the issues he had would have been sorted with a boundary wire. RTK is far superior to boundary wires. It's much more efficient and you get a better finish mowing in straight lines, as opposed to the random routes used by boundary wire mowers. Plus it's much easier to have the mower transition between different mowing areas.
I personally think rtk is definitely superior over ground wire. To my knowledge it's the same system used for surveying property roads etc. I'm sure it could be improved to suit this application. Maybe multiple references to get a clear view of the sky and still reach the robot? I'm sure they will nail this system in time.
Great honest and real use review. Cutting through the marketing hype and putting it through its paces. Definitely some shortfalls and interesting points that need to be called out to perspective buyers. Great work.
Hi nice video, you have inspired me to buy a drill press and convert it to a back lapping machine! When you first built the machine, it looked as though it was running a little fast even on the lowest speed (I think you even mentioned it in the video) In this video it looks to be running slower, have you modified the machine? if so how? Thanks.
G’day mate, I believe it's an allusion on video that makes it appear a different speed. Yes I't does spin a little faster than I'd like. Iv resently got some stuff to modify it and slow it down. I'll do a video of it at some stage 😃👍🏻
There maybe a screw in filter like honda and chinse copys filtee screws in from u der neath get torch look down in tank cap off if one there u will see bit of pai tank has to come off take notuce of way fuel line runs diection it goes if not u may squash fuel line cut fuel supply machine wont go lol i d iud it had to take tsnk back off rerout fuel line all good then
Yes, you are right. it was an internal filter (inside the tank) It was missing. So obviously wasn't there from factors. I done a follow up video showing this 😃👍🏻
Gday Robert, the bottom end is the crankcase, (everything below the cylinder and piston) The crank case contains oil to lubricate the bottom end. Although after time the oil can become slightly contaminated with a small amount of fuel that makes its way past the piston rings. In this case it was exssesive, to the point it had actually increased the oil level. This much fuel will thin the oil and possibly not lubricate as intended. I hope this answers upu question. But feel free to ask more. I'll do my best to answer them 😃👍🏻
Thank for this video as I am rebuiding a supercut and did not strip down the barrel and after puting the machine together found the pauls were engaging when travelling backwards so had to pull the drum our found they had greeased the shaft and pauls so had to come back and watch your video to confirm what you stated about not puting grease near the pauls so will now degrease and reassemble. Very much appreciate your educational video.
G’day Geoffrey 😃, My pleasure mate. I'm just learning as I go. There is so much usfull information out there. Supercuts and model 65s on FB is a good one. If you're not already on there. I'm glad it helped. 😃👍🏻
