Does anybody know if the gearboxes are the same in the Y22 and H26 models or are parts still available for the Y22 models as the early ones are now heading 40 years old
Had a win with the one with the Honda on it, the bloke said that the motor was stuffed but it looked ok to me apart from the pull starter broken. Put some fuel in it,drill start and it fired straight up and runs fine. Only thing I am surprised with it is it is a GXV120, seems very small for a 22 inch self propelled. The other 2 have Briggs Intek's on them and I would assume these are probably 190cc or thereabouts?
Hi MF, I think I will pull the Honda off and put it on an 18 inch push mower and get a new motor for that one. Got the carby off one of the Briggs in the ultrasonic at the moment so hopefully that will sort that one out
Mf, I don't have to worry about them drying, the ultrasonic has a heater in it so when it comes out of the bath it is warm and dries in a minute or so. Then I give them a blow with the air through all the passage ways to make sure they are clear
Yes Max, I think $200 for the 3 of them is a good deal, then I can spend a bit of money on them and not worry about trying to get my money back. Helps a bit with this cost neutral hobby
Yep good deal there Norm. It's worth fixing Deutschers slashers for a cost neutral hobby but a serviced push mower is a loss when people only want to pay $50.,. I see a lot of people just using electric push mowers around my area , must be less interest in petrol powered mowers now and a few people with solar panels and a Tesla that don't pay any power running costs.
Hi MF, not sure what you mean by day makers. Hi Max, I'm thinking of converting the Y22 with the fixed front wheels into a single swivel front to see how that works out.
It is making me happier by the minute, the 3 motors run fine and from what I can work out the 3 transmissions work. Just waiting on 3 sets of belts from ODK and hopefully everything works My lucky day
I have a slight oil leak from the selector shaft on one of the Y560's and I need to remove the shaft so I can replace the "O" ring. What I am not sure about is what or how the end of the shaft engages to for it to select the gears. Looking at the exploded drawing I can't see what it is connected to. The shaft moves in and out to select the gears. Anybody have any thoughts?
I picked this one up today but it being a 10.5hp motor it is too hard to pull start. Runs fine when it does start. I have an old 11hp electric start motor and I'm hoping that I can swap the bits across to turn this one into electric start. Anybody have any thoughts on if it will fit. I think it has the 2 bolts to bolt the starter on and the fuel tank has a cutout to fit around the starter.
Hard to pull start can be a sign of excessive valve clearance as the compression isn't released for starting ,obviously you can't adjust the clearances on Top Dead Centre.
The 10.5 looks like a newer motor than the 11 hp motor , if there's no ring gear on the 10.5 the 11 flywheel should fit.
I don't think you will waste much time if the parts don't swap across Norm. I would think you shouldn't have a problem changing the parts over.
Thanks Max, I thought it should swap over without too many issues as long as the stator has the mounting points on the new motor. I don't think it is the valves leaking, it is just so heavy to get it spinning and I am just not strong enough these days to get it spinning fast enough to fire. It runs very well once you get it running. I will see how it works out. MF, This motor would need one very big impulse starter 10.5 hp requires big shoulders to get fired up
