Never had a Flymo as far as I can remember. I did come across a mower at the tip one time that must have mowed over some bailing twine which had wrapped around the bearing on the shaft so tight that it had actually cut into the seal and was preventing the motor from turning. I had to remove the seal and replace it to get rid of all the twine. Its amazing how tight that stuff can get when it wraps itself around a few dozen times. I've come across dead snakes and live frogs in cowels at times. I've had sticks jam up the blades underneath and they can be very difficult to pull out. It's not always something mechanical that stops a mower turning. You can be foiled by something as simple as a gum-nut.
And then the wheels fell off...
