Hi heady,

Firstly welcome to the ODK Forums.

Sorry that I can't be the bearer of any good news but some years ago there was a batch of around 150 metal replacement units made and they sold out within weeks. There were never any more made.

Sadly it's just a matter of time until yours lets go and thus why these have developed such a poor reputation through out the Lawnmower industry.

When it goes bang it will revert to a push mower, or even better a donor engine for a Model 45 with a crook power plant.

As previously said, sorry to be the bearer of bad news.


Cheers,
BB.

PS. Hope you didn't pay any more than $50 as basically you've bought an engine. Sorry that this sounds brutal but that's how it is.

I live a 24 Hour lifestyle, but every now and again I seem to fall asleep, well at least that's what my wife tells me.
