Well, I took the blade off the old mower today to sharpen it up and Part of the blade adapter that the blade screws in to to hold it to the motor shaft broke off.
This blade adapter has a central bolt holding the blade on and two smaller bolts holding the blade on as well. The blade adapter one of those two smaller screws fits in is what broke off.
I happen to have a spare mower of a similar model number, so I'm supposing I can remove that blade adapter from the 5 HP B&S motor on the other mower and fit it on the mower I'm using.
I removed the blade and motor off the spare mower, but it's not clear to me how to remove the blade adapter. There are flat spots on the bracket that a wrench would fit on, but perhaps there are other means of holding the bracket on.
Can I get some advice for removing that adapter?Read More
The saw puts out no oil. So, of course, the chain gets hot. The manual is no help - it tells me to take it to a certified repair person ... .The saw has fewer than 30 hours on it and has two other major problems already. I have read other similar posts but no advice. Any suggestions - besides "Dont buy Homelite"
