Hi, Can anyone tell me if the Sanli height adjustment knob is threaded? I am looking for a cheap replacement for an M8 threaded height adjust knob for late model Victa. I asked an online seller if the Sanli knob has an 8mm thread or if it is glued in place and got a one word reply "SORRY"... which tells me nothing.

The knob will have to have an 8mm female thread. I guess I could use a standard snooker ball knob as replacement, or a gear shift handle, but if I can get one off a trashed Sanli that would be a cheaper option.

G'day Vm,

Not sure if it's my pc or ODK but the image isn't viewable for me.

The Genuine Sanli Height Adjustment Knob (Part 50301) is a push-on fit, not threaded.

It is designed to be a very tight, friction-fit part that slides onto the flat metal lever of the height adjustment assembly. Because these knobs have to endure a lot of vibration and "yanking" during use, they are notorious for being a bit stubborn to install.

I wouldn't pay lawn mower tax for this part just go to Aliexpress and get one under $5 free post , I just searched for M8 threaded control knob

or maybe search (M4-M16 Black Red Round Ball Handle Ball Knobs Bakelite Lever Knob Grip Handles Of Furniture Or Machine Tool Replacement )
About $3. each free post ,just a heads up: don't use your first-purchase discount on something super cheap. AliExpress gives you a massive deal for your very first order, so use it on something a bit pricier to get the most money off!


Cheers

Hi All,

We know about the image issue and are try to sort out what has happened with it.

Hopefully we have it sorted out in a day or so.

Thanks Max and Bruce,

Yeah I didn't think my pic was showing. Here it is.

Hi Bruce and Vm,

Ok thanks Bruce as I had suspected it was ODK but pc had just updated.

Yes that looks like the slide on handle Vm.



Cheers
Max..

I've never purchased off AliExpress or Temu. Lots of really cheap stuff, but will you ever receive it? I also don't like the idea of spreading my personal financial details too thickly across the net in foreign countries. I generally prefer to pay a few bucks more for things from sellers who I know are based in Australia, or failing that in China. I've found eBay fairly reliable lately, touch wood. I had a few problems with Amazon and hate the way they charge a subscription fee if you want free postage. So even when you are not buying anything you have to fork out for useless fees. It is clearly a trap to get people hooked on regular buying from them. I guess I only used Amazon until my free postage deal expired, then considered it more problem than it was worth and cancelled my membership.

vint_mow,
I have bought quite a bit from Temu and a few bits from AliExpress and never had a problem with either of them. I got a couple of rideon mower seats from Temu and they were excellent value for the money. One just left here on a Deutscher that I rebuilt with a new Chonda motor that is now on its way back to QLD Bloke is super happy with it
