Similar fine Mesh damp proof material does exist, I have a 6 year old lawn mower that uses such a collector bag, no problems at all, lets air through and catches leaves and grass even when damp. This same material would be perfectly adequate for a Leaf Vac. But it appears NO manufacturer has...

There is an awful lot of 'waffle, ' appearing on this thread. All that is required is a Nylon (or similar) Fine Mesh zipped Collector bag, but no one manufactures them.

Tied that, the zip needs to be open a round 4 inches to establish a reasonable Air Flow to enable the suction required at the pick up nozzle, and with that sort of opening the leaves just fly out of the bag.

Clearly I know that, but I am unable to locate such a construction and I have tried for a few years. The fine mesh needs to be water resistant to be of any use.

I have a GardenLine Garden Vac, The original Collector Bag failed Very Quickly with a Hole in it. A manufacturers replacement suffered the same fate. I think the Manufactures Bags are not worth replacing as they Hole very quickly. I Purchased a so called equivalent Universal replacement, I...

That seems to have done the trick. If I had a brain, I would have tried the Fix it All technique, but sadly the brain I once had is now a shrivelled Walnut as clearly I have demonstrated. Thanks Murdochat for lending me yours. I must try Harder.

Typographical error on my message it is smtp.google.com. I'll check the ports, but I have never changed anything so as it worked a couple of days ago, I expect the ports to be the same. It's all wizardry to me. Checked SSL port it was 993, tried 465, no difference, so returned it to 993.

The Password is correct. everything was working a few days ago, nothing changed by me, just stopped sending mails. Gmail on my phone is working OK using the same servers. Thanks for your Reply.

I have an ageing iMac, which Apple (Bless Them )no longer supports and won't/can't upgrade the operating system. The iMac/Gmail is now failing to send email and reports 'Mail was unable to log in to the SMTP server"smtp.gmail.co" using password authentication'.I am able to receive emails but...

Spot on. The Blade boss is quite a clever arrangement using a couple of blade locating pegs. These pegs are eccentric and are such that the blade cannot be replaced upside down. Ian

The Grub screw is diametrically opposite to the Keyway cut into the Boss, so it isn't for tightening down on the key although that would have been an excellent design feature. No Idea what it is meant to do, but I think whoever assembled the mower in the factory seemed to have used the Grub...

Hi Harry, May I sincerely apologise for misinterpreting your very Helpful comments, which were very helpful to me, Thanks again. My misunderstanding was simply that your comment suggested Woodruff was a generic Name for ALL keys and not specific to the Half Moon shaped Key. So sorry if the...

Hi John, Mower Fixed and running as new. The problem was that there appeared to be no square Key in the Wheel drive Boss and was relying on the Small Grub Screw to hold the boss to the drive shaft, or maybe the key had dropped out at some time. I attach the photographs for your information...

Thanks for your reply John. I reassembled the Mower and it all worked although as I suggested the longevity of my effort is in doubt. The reassembly was really to determine If I had Identified the problem. To clarify, the aluminum boss involved, it is the boss that the wheel drive belt uses to...

I had another look at the problem, I ended up at the Drive shaft and the wheel drive pulley wheel which drives the belt which in turn drives the wheel gear box. After dismantling and detaching the wheel drive pulley, I noticed that the only thing securing the wheel drive pulley to the drive...
