G'day,
Havent been around for a while because I got my old Rover Colt ride on mower going and then gave it to an old friend that has problems pushing a mower around his large yard since he had a stroke, so now he rides around and gets it done with no problems. Anyhow, the main reason I am back is because I have just picked up another ride-on which is in almost new condition, it was only used about 5 or 6 times before the guy parked it up and didnt worry about it, after it had a problem with the clutch that drives the blades. It is a wolf-garten scooter, model SV4, type no 6155000,serial no A-10005386 with a Tecumseh 60 engine. I am having trouble finding any info on this brand, as it seems no-one in Sydney sells them any more. There is only one distributor that I can find in Australia, and they are down in the ACT. Can anyone tell me anything about this brand and whether they are a good mower worth fixing up or is there a reason no-one distributes them anymore? I guess what I am asking is, is this clutch problem a common one which will need constant repairs, considering it failed after only 5 or 6 uses? I cant seem to find anybody else that has even heard of them. Any advice or help would be appreciated. Thanks.
