Many thanks for all these amazing videos, it's given me the bug to try fixing and selling. Bought my first mower today and it's a briggs and stratton 450 series 148cc Qualcast, only paid 20 quid. Only thing thats needs doing is the governor springs, the rest is immaculate. Hopefully a nice profit with this one
You could do with a 600mm 1/2" breaker bar for leverage on jobs like that. Safer for your hands as well. They're not a lot of money but really useful kit to have.
Hi Mower Man - it's Big Rodders in Ireland. A very interesting video, I must check those sockets out. Like everybody else, I've had similar problems in the past. Solutions I've employed have been to cut a new head with a micro disc to accept a smaller socket but my current favourite is to heat around the blade hole with a blow torch, it doesn't have to be red hot, and quench it quickly with water. My perception is that it is the joint between the bolt head and the blade that is seized as the bolt always unscrews out of the crankshaft without issue.
in my case the blade is loose, that bolt is stuck and can't be unscrewed from crankshaft. I've broken the blade because it's meaningless. The shaft can't give it the rotation. I've tried wd-40, power tools like drill and a a longer wrench to remove that bolt. No chance. Please help me :)
@@nomadiclog Hi - it's Big Rodders in Ireland. It's hard to figure out the best way forward without being able to see the issue. If it was me, since the blade is broken I would cut it off completely then drain the oil and petrol, remove the engine and then heat the end of the crankshaft as hot as possible without damaging the crankcase seal. Cool it quickly by sticking it in a bucket of water. Dry it off, turn the engine upside down and soak it in WD40 for a while then then to turn the bolt again. Let me know how you get on.
@@rodneysweetnam8653 thanks for your feedback. Actually I was going to try them one by one but before that I wanted to ask my body builder neighbour if he could try. And some extra protein worked 😄 now I'm looking for a spare blade and a nut which is damaged badly. Blade should be the exact same length with the original, right? I mean, a shorter blade won't do the job I guess. Thanks for your attention.
@@nomadiclog Big Rodders again. It's best to replace the blade with an identical copy. A shorter blade with have a slower tip speed and reduced grass lifting capability if bagging is required.
love these, ive got a set of the urwin ones. i use a 3ft brake bar with mine and ive never found getting a bolt off easier. good job glad you have a gr8 set, the long thing you prob find its for getting the bolt out the socket after
I'm going to assume that little bar, that came with the set, was for putting through the socket to knock out the bolt or nut that's been removed, just put socket in a vice then knock it through, because I'm imagining it's stuck tight in there now 👍
hold the impeller and knock the blade round with a hammer the bolt will loosen common fault on hovers people try to fit blade spacers using the wrong spanner all the best from a retired mower fitter
Thank you. I'm im the exact situation at the moment with my lawnmower deck on the workbench. I'm sold on these. How do you like the Ryobi impact wrench? Do you recommend it?
Hiya mate I have a viking 248 with a ecv200 engine on it I got it running well cleaned the carburettor on it but I couldn't get the emulsion tube out every now and again hunts but most of the time it doesn't and its literally 2 or 3 seconds of Hunting then it goes away for away for a long time any tips
I have down same flymo but filed flats on the nut, to fit smaller socket and used long torque wrench for leverage. But good tip for future. But now cant get the blade boss/fan off? Did yours just pull off?
Hi I have a Mountfield and looking to fix the stuck height adjusting roller knob on an empress 16 cant find any you have covered on this and cant see how to to the bolt on the top to see if i can free it . Any pointers please .
Using 6 point sockets, instead of the usual 12 point sockets will prevent nuts & bolts from rounding off !. All impact sockets are 6 point for that very reason. Always favour 6 point on a impact driver and it will remove nuts and bolts 99% of the time.
@@MowerMan I already guessed you had !. Thats why the use of 6 point sockets prevent the bolts / nuts ever getting in this state in the first place. The damage had already been caused by somebody using the incorrect socket / spanner a LONG LONG time ago. Thats when the grip sockets come into there own. A new bolt is required now or some very careful hand filing to reduce the size the head of the bolts.

I bought the kit and tried it and it’s works perfectly, this extraction kit does exactly what it’s supposed to do! 👍
Awesome!
I got these for the exact same job, perfect, thanks for the vid 👍🏼. Oh and the little pin thing is for knocking a nut/bolt out the socket 👍🏼
Thanks!
I had no idea how to proceed. Thanks!
Very interesting, I didn't know these existed, I will be buying a set.
If I had a welders I would weld a nut or use a blowtorch however I haven’t tried what your using thank you for your for all your videos thank you.

Cheers for the video mate, have been meaning to have a look at getting a set... normally I just think sod it and get the grinder out 🤣
That’s quite useful. I was a bit skeptical at first, but looks good.
Me too! I used them a few more times today!
What’s your advice on painting? Should you do it? How to do it?
Another tip I'd probably say is buy an expandable ratchet. It can double as a breaker bar for automotive needs if you work beyond small engines.
Brilliant Video, just what I need to get the bolt off my Mountfield. Thanks😃
One "Bloody Good" show!
Thank you for the video, I've never seen such a tool before. Very impressive!
I've got the Irwin set. Very handy tool
Irwin...much better...

Good set to have, I will get some, stay well stay safe, think that round bar goes through the sockets ,tommy bar
Great vid Mower man will definitely get a set of them 👍🏻

Got a set off them used on a few jobs really handy piece of kit

Nice! I'll make sure to save a set for myself
Had a set of those for a few years now, very handy 👍🍺
Glad your not scrapping that engine 👏👏
Nice one! Glad they worked for you, they pay for themselves. :-)
Finally getting a mower
Yeah a good tool to get the job done mate
Should come in useful
@@MowerMan yeah mate
Think i will check these out handy to have in workshop
Awesome video

you are 100% correct
Great job Mower Man I will buy it
Thank you
Nice set that , think i might buy a set. cheers
i have a set and they work great
Ty for for the video I try to get my blade off and nothing I will order me some ty
Iv got a set of them paul great set 👍🏻
Heck yeah awsome tool , I have Allen impact sockes from that same brand and like them
I think I'll get a set!
How easy was it to get the rounded off bolt out of the bolt remover socket once you had removed it ?
I had the same question. Maybe it just stays on permanently ?
@@joeknipp6698 Had the same question, too, Joe.
That's probably what the bar is for - to knock it through in a vice.
Not bad I just gripped the socket in a vice and tapped it out with the tommy bar provided
Cheers Paul cracking 🍻🍻
I’ve got the same problem on my Husqvarna rider and ordered exactly the same kit. I’ll let you know how it goes?
I’m finally getting a mower tomorrow
Good Luck
Thanks mate keep your videos up
Nice. TYVM!
hold the impeller and knock the blade round with a hammer the bolt will loosen common fault on hovers people try to fit blade spacers using the wrong spanner all the best from a retired mower fitter
Great tool
Loved the comment you made about the bad boy car exhaust, don't get one...
Your great
The rod in the set is for knocking out the old bolts.
Thanks Gareth!
Wow that’s excellent
Glad ur saving abit more of it still think you could sell the deck
Fantastic mate
nice one
Buying them quality
What do you do about grass boxes? They’re often missing. Do you just collect Spares and repairs and Transplant them? Are they universal?
Thank you.
I'm im the exact situation at the moment with my lawnmower deck on the workbench. I'm sold on these.
How do you like the Ryobi impact wrench? Do you recommend it?
How do you get the bolt out of the socket?
Mr mower man I have a question I do gardening and landscaping what’s the best lawnmower for commercial use I only want a push or self propelled one
Hiya mate I have a viking 248 with a ecv200 engine on it I got it running well cleaned the carburettor on it but I couldn't get the emulsion tube out every now and again hunts but most of the time it doesn't and its literally 2 or 3 seconds of Hunting then it goes away for away for a long time any tips
Sweet . Save the mower now.
I have down same flymo but filed flats on the nut, to fit smaller socket and used long torque wrench for leverage. But good tip for future. But now cant get the blade boss/fan off? Did yours just pull off?
Big mallets and crow bar!
Hi I have a Mountfield and looking to fix the stuck height adjusting roller knob on an empress 16 cant find any you have covered on this and cant see how to to the bolt on the top to see if i can free it . Any pointers please .
Not sure i'm afraid
@@MowerMan Thanks looks like it will be a case of taking apart the rear roller system see if i can get to it from the underside .
did you try a 9/16 socket ? Ed Loretto Ontario Canada
Yes Ed
sure

It says there's a 15mm in that set.
I know. That's why I bought that set
