My ride on mower... Countax C300H

[d000hg]

I mentioned I'd been left a mower with the new house and a couple people and what it was. I finally got round to checking...

Not a make I've ever heard of. When I looked online at current mowers I don't see them.

Anyone know much about them?

One of the better and more expensive makes, Countax have been on the go for ages.
Its possible this one has the Honda V twin motor - can you confirm? The 'H' stands for hydrostatic drive rather than a manual transmission - I can talk you through that later.
There are no particular issues with this machine, apart from the usual deck rotting problems - they are kind to their drive belts which last a long time. Tell me - does yours have the electric clutch to engage the cutter blades?

I'm new to these things so photos and easiest. I think it's pretty old (20 years?) And i don't exactly know what all the levers precisely do though I've managed to cut and collect grass successfully.

Is that a Lamborghini Countax?

These were very expensive machines when new, and they are still good today. Can you give us a shot of the engine?
One of the weaknesses is the belt under the seat that drives the grass collector tines - it gets a hard life.

Here is the instruction manual ..... http://www.countax.biz/imagestore/manuals/C-Series Briggs (00 - 02).pdf
Yours should have the Briggs & Stratton engine with Hydrostatic transmission.
