My mate gave me a mower he pickup on the curb....... he couldn't get it started.... I sharpened blades, cleaned air filter, carb bowl and park plug.......... Looks pretty new, don't think blade has been sharpened..... Anyway the big problem was the spark plug boot was not fully home on the spark plug......
Plenty of power and I always drill a hole in flap so I hold it up with a piece of wire...... 139cc , and it has no throttle but it's OK. lucky speedy

Max, it's so new, pity to destroy it as is...... it's got a straight blade.....no lugs. and this one doesn't falter with thick grass...... you just adjust the wheels once..... a big 139cc...... I might mow whole lawn when it needs it.... speedy

That's a 660 EX Speedy, I think the SX denotes self-propelled, at least the Baumr 750SX I found was.
Was. I greatly disliked using a self-propelled, too hard to manoeuvre and pull backwards. When the belt fell off I removed the gearbox but that didn't help so took out the gears connected to the wheels.
The motor is a powermore by Zongshen, the same people who make the predator power motors (note predator australia motors not USA harbor freight Predators). I would rate them below loncin but above sumec and relatively on par with rato and lifan.
You would have some home of getting parts through rover as they have used them.
I was unlucky enough to be given the previous model that had a 99cc t100 motor of unknown manufacturer but the same as used on early aldi mowers and a few others. Put it on a 18in rover deck with rover blades - was comically easy to bog down but strangely hard to outright stall. 3 uses later the pull start completely disintegrated and I couldn't be stuffed finding a cheap replacement so all i have left is the carby and a few other bits.
Sounds like this mower cuts better in a dry area like Queensland Speedy, looks like it's missing the self tapper in the side to stop the handle flexing.
Too many fussy buyers in my area ,I've seen a few sell for $20. on eBay ,If I wanted $70. I'd have to use a different base with a plastic catcher ,people here don't like the bag catchers.
Another problem I had, was the cast iron boss on the crank would be broken when people hit a rock with the bar blade.
Lots of cheap mowers for sale these days. Hopefully someone will want the Braum-AG 660SX mower soon Speedy.
thanks Max, I'll put a screw in it. thanks Mowing maniac..... another specsavers moment..... All over now, it's gone for $90. To a mate who resells............. can you work that out.... speedy
