can't use a longer bolt, you can only get 4mm deep. Thanks for the links, but none will work. They need to resemble what I linked to before, otherwise they just won't fit.

It's ok, I'm just happy that people are throwing suggestions. That first one would do the 76mm part with maybe some adjustment, the mid fix wouldn't fit due to the fixing point, and the mikalor doesn't have a fixing point. The other thing I could do, if possible is find some steel strap and...

Sadly nothing goes big enough.

Some of those look ideal, just trying to find the sizes. I could maybe try and make something up with some mild steel.

I could try something like that also, but with an M8 thread.

I have used a lock nut, but not happy with only 4mm depth of thread.

Something like that looks good. Basically the official ones for the mast are here https://www.clarkmasts.com/mast-accessories/mounting/1/mast-mounting-ring/ but they want £60 for one clamp!

It's nothing like what is on that link, but thanks. It has to resemble the clip above, which does work, just we're not happy with the shallow thread on the M8 part. From memory one needs to be about 76mm and the other 85mm. But the reason I put this in the plumbing area, is that those plumbing...

Munsen rings are probably the closest I'd be able to use as I need firm clamping. It's not actually for plumbing, I'm helping a friend with an amateur radio mast and these are the only things I can think of.

Hello, I'm wondering if anyone knows of pipe clamps like these ones, but with either.... Single thread, rather than the M10 M8 combo which means there's only about 4mm of M8 thread. Or captive M8 stud? Thanks.

Sorry for the late reply, thanks for your message. I went and bought proper oil from Toolstation. Cut the grass to get the engine hot, then tilted the mower to empty the oil, the refilled.

Stupid question here, but, I have a Lawnflite mower with a Briggs and Stratton engine. Here's the silly question, can I change the oil with 5w30 which I have in my garage for cars? Or should I go and get some SAE30? I looked online for specifications but nothing was really clear. Thanks.

That's the one, rollers on the rear, driven by a chain through a gearbox. That mechanism seems fine. Thanks, will upload some photos when I can, looking forward to getting this mower out in the field!

No, don't recall any such set up. This is the pulley which comes in as you squeeze the drive handle.

As it's rained every day, today I managed to take a look, yes it's been a long time, but the mower is outdoors under a tarp, no room in the garage, it's rammed full of ****. Anyway, turns out the belt which is driven off the blade shaft, is perished and the pully which brings it in on the lever...

Oh Matron!

Thanks all, will take a look underneath when I can. I saw the exploded diagram but couldn't work out it showing a drive belt to the rear drive, but we'll see what I can find, or not as the case may be!

Hi, I've been given the above mower as my friend has a new one. I can't seem to find any manuals online to help with trouble shooting. It starts and runs absolutely fine, but it doesn't self propel which I knew about, but I want to see what I can do with it. Not sure if it's a well known brand...

I have a flat bed wet tile saw, where the tile goes on the bed face up and the blade protrudes through the bed. I have used this on ceramic and it was ok, but I did find that it often chipped the glazing. I found it absolutely no good for porcelain for this reason. I then used an angle grinder...

That's a shame, I've used them before, they're very good.
