Elmer our self-propelled mower has been out of action for a while due to being underwater from that last flood and then inactive long enough for the bearing in the self-propelling mechanism to seize.
I had flushed out the engine after the flood but didn't consider the bearing, silly Jimby.
This is the new bearing in its housing, it's a type 62201 and needs a little bit of searching to obtain one, the pity for me is it took 6+ weeks to be delivered from of all places Dumaguete in the Philippines, more proof perhaps of it becoming a province of China.
The bearing sits inside the housing that I splashed a bit of gold paint on. Elmer's ready to have the blades refitted here.
first time ever seeing that type of a blade
ReplyDeleteNo blade there, that thing is just the cover over the drive belt.
