G'day vccomm, I'm out in the Eastern suburbs of Melbourne about 15 km out from the city. Really appreciate the offer but I don't know if the mower will last that long. I have an angle grinder aiming straight at it ready to demolish it. On the other hand I'd really like to know how this thing could lose all its compression so quickly, it took so many hours to get it going and then probably ran for about 5 or so mins in total and now nothing. Keep in touch and let me know your movements. It is a 125.
