You are so attentive and helpful Deejay. What would this forum do without you.
(a)Don't have a decent camera here at the moment but the height adjuster for the 45 is the same as the photo posted by adb on 10/2/10 at
https://www.outdoorking-forum.com.au/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=16262&page=1. As for the Diplomat 430 it is a black plastic knob with a smaller threaded bore and a separate centre depth indicator cap that goes onto the end of the actual adjusting rod. Any good?
(b)Teasing rake ... yes. I have now seen one on TMS (Turf Machinery Supplies in Victoria) for $199. Ugh! Could almost make one up. Anyone done that?
(c) yes I see at TMS site a 10 blade cylinder is $518 and kit with bearing, screws and bottom knife blade is a about 410 more. Sooooooo expensive! Some other brands for even 30" are around $300! TMS say they are the manufacturer. Right? Or do they get these from China or elsewhere in the world? You would think these are an ongoing item for multiple brands and that there would be a 3rd party product made. Anyone?
(d) Thanks DJ for the advice on knife blades. I saw somewhere (TMS?) about a range of blade thickness options and some bumpf about "closer cut". I will try to find the thread you suggest.
Bruce/Moderator or someone? How can I get the suitable SB45/BS-80202engine repair service manual and pay the sub - but not by online payment?
