I am after some options primarily surrounding Chonda mowers and people breaking/ loosing catchers.
More than 50% of the Chonda�s I find with cheap catchers are either damaged or simply not returned with the mower at the local junkyard.
Personally I like to keep all mowers as original as possible. Meaning: keeping the correct shaft lengths, blade bosses, plates and blades with the correct mower. Whilst many don�t mind changing them it is not something I like to do mainly to ensure the safe operation of the mower and people know what blades to buy down the track.
1) At present I continually can�t find any Sanli (Lazercut & Powermulch) catchers.
Does anyone had any suggestions about retro fitting catchers. I understand K Marts Gardenline fit this model but I simply haven�t been able to find any unwanted items at my local recycling yard. I want to do something that�s easy and safe so the engines don�t get wasted. In nearly all instances when set up correctly these engines are very good runners and produce 1 pull starts
2) GMC/ 909 branded mowers with the plastic box like catcher (that breaks easily). GMC�s with the 375 Briggs Engines I normally transfer to a Masport or Rover base and then add the correct bosses and blade plates but I have never transferred a chonda across as the shafts are often quite different.
Can anyone please share their experiences with transferring Chonda�s onto more mainstream bases whilst keeping the correct blade bosses and plates set up which were originally sold with the mower.
Also any safety considerations I should take would be appreciated.
I�ll add some photos of the mowers I am talking about later tonight.
Cheers
Jaffa
