Excellent video. Hayter service agent said it was the gearbox and it would be £300 to fix. Now with your video and a few hours on the spanners, my Hayter 56 auto-drive is driving itself again. Well explained and really helpful thanks.
I am looking forward to finding a mower left for scrap on the side of the road so i can have a go at it Mick. You’ve got me going !! Mine are working ok at the moment.
Hello. Thank you for this review. Very interesting and should come in handy in future. This did not cover the problem I've got. Will keep looking. Thanks again.
@@themowerman i have a hatyer 41 2008 model. Battery just failed after all this time. Changed battery but its not charging. I was looking how to test and find fault.
Hmm don't know if I have seen a mower with two drive belts that is that small. Excellent diagnosis and repair. That pulley reminds me of my pulley on my old Cushman scooter. Great video.
I bought a hayter harrier 41 with a drive problem at an auction (very cheap) on the basis that i could fix it - followed this video and managed to connect everything up with new belts - mine has a spring which i attached using a spring puller goes on the little notch on the gold bracket - couple of pounds off amazon made the job so much easier- However it still wouldn't work - thought it might be the pulley itself so have bought a new one - whilst waiting for it to arrive i realised the the gold bracket in this video is different - it has an extra hole at the bottom - looking at a parts diagram this suggests the cable from the lever goes into this and controls the drive. brilliant video and gave me confidence to buy a second hand hayter - £37 pounds bargain - learnt so much about cleaning carbs as well from the other videos - i knew nothing about engines and have now found a new hobby - just got to make sure i don't keep buying old mowers
I am surprised how different the mower frames are than North America. Good to see you in your element in the shed. That is quite the drive. 2 belts, variable speed. Give the pulley a Happy Birthday to funny. Nice fix Mick. Good thing a Briggs will run with very little oil.
Well gday mate lol how you doing.. yeah we have a lot of different stuff over here..the hayter is a leading manufacturer in the uk.. yeah sometimes you have to give these mowers a happy birthday lol
A nice easy fix and service. Those pulleys are what you find on CVT transmissions. The variable pulley gives you the different gear ratios. Good to see the DeWalt getting some action. I've got one myself to compliment my DCF899.
No not the height adjustment bar, it’s a pulley on an arm that is fitted to the plastic under guard (I think) and it goes between the rear roller and the auto drive belt. Think it’s held in place by a spring shaped like a “V” I’ll try and find the marker where I saw it briefly in your other video
Just worked out that the “jockey assembly pulley” attaches by a half bearing which clamps to the under guard. That’s held in place with a grip washer. But still can’t work out the orientation of the spring
Micks Mowers definitely got a spring. I’ve got a picture on my phone from when I had one apart in November but I don’t know how to publish the pictures on here. Lol.
Micks Mowers hi mick. I’m working on a Suffolk punch 17ks at the moment, why do they have an oil filler and dip stick at both front and rear of the engine? Surely you can just add oil in one place ?
Brilliant video's, do you a video on replacing the rear roller on a Hayter Sprit 41 (2015 model), I having problems removing the metal pins that hold the cogs / chain in place, what do you use to remove these.
Sounds like a severe case of a lack of lubricant. And she's will be ready to rock and roll. I think that it hadn't seen oil scine it left the factory Mick. 😎👍
Brilliant Mick just picked up one of these and the pull cord needs replacing as a bit frayed by the handle. I was thinking of cutting the end off and pulling out a little bit but seems jammed now in the recoil. Only the plastic guard on top of the engine has three integral clips. I unclipped it to get to the recoil but seems still fixed in place by another plastic piece under it towards the front? Do you know how it comes off please?
@@themowerman oh yeah brilliant Mick thanks. I worked out how to get pull cord going longer by holding the cord and Winding the blade by hand of course with gloves and the plug disconnected lol I find it a bit wobbly on the wheels. Looks same as that one wobbling about bit crooked?
Very good video and very helpful. My son brought his Haytor to me to fix. I found the aluminium bracket attached to the gearbox was broken. He has ordered a replacement but it will be a few days before it arrives. I hope I can remember where everything goes and don't end up with a bolt extra or missing.!
Just watched the service film. Very insightful and useful. I have a Hayter Harrier 41 Quantum from 1999, so similar age to one in your film. I had the mower serviced recently, although, being ignorant of what was actually done, other than a new spark plug, oil and a new blade, (which wasn't given a sharp edge), I am now wondering whether a proper job was done for the princely sum of £120! Since then it has started to surge. I shall check the air filter first but if this isn't the issue, what else could it be?
Hi Mick love the show, I have a question, do you know if you can buy the thin tin plate that goes in between the two pulleys , on the variator pulley , I can’t seem to find it separately, many thanks John
Hello. Iv just picked up an old hayter 48 and the rear roller is fine going forward but locks solid when I pull it backwards. Is this a drive chain issue? Love the videos. Cheers
A great video Mick. I’m not a fan of variator drive systems on Hayters. I think the old side drive is better, although I can appreciate their benefits. Great channel fella, take it easy. I’ve bought an ultrasonic cleaner and said to the good lady it’s for Christmas 🤣
Here mate its fantastic www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=www.ebay.co.uk/b/rechargeable-led-work-light/bn_7024943842&ved=2ahUKEwj0pcqkrtznAhVsREEAHRZ8DkkQFjACegQIBRAB&usg=AOvVaw2LTOhSrA4gNTWV1-ZoVu8u
Do you have a video that covers the tensioning arm on a hayter 41? It’s a small bar with a sidearm and a pulley at one end. I can’t for the life of me figure out how it’s held in place in the channel the side arm sits in. Some sort of butterfly spring?! Confused.
Hi Mick can you tell me if a Hayter, Briggs and Stratton, Hunter 4C 1990 ish., has belts on it, i always assumed the blade was on the end ofthe crankshaft..it's just a push mower, Fred in Essex. cheers.
@@themowerman Well you have to push it, hasnt go any drive on it, just a blade at the bottom that spins round, so i assume from that it has no rubber belts on, but i am not sure how the blade is driven, it looks like it comes straight off the engine crank shaft?
Ok Mick so yah first time here new subscriber. All good info been a minute since I worked a mower though any new subscriber here , hope to see yah over at our place as well continued success and blessings
Hayter has been designing and producing premium quality lawn mowers at its headquarters in Hertfordshire since 1946 - and in 2016 celebrated its 70th year in business
Engine has no oil; at 1:57 you show us a honking, gunked-up oilly spark plug and say it's running lean. I only really know about 2-strokes - is that a sign of lean running in 4-strokes? On a 2-stroke lean running would give a white-ish clean plug with electrode wear. I'd say that's where the oil is going: into the cylinder! On 2 stroke it would be. I'm really confused. Thumbs-upped though.
Tiring to catch up on everyone videos. #73 They use to have those little metal funnels that use to put inside the oil bottle. I wonder if they still make those. hmmmm.

What problems do you have ?

Have a drive issue - this is a great help ❤ thank you for posting 😊😊
No worries
I like your commentary as you work. People can learn a lot from your thoughts!
Farm Dad yeah mate it seems to work well. And helps me to remember where it all goes back together lol
Great fix and service customer should be very happy with that 👍👍
He was.. runs very well too
Enjoyed watching this, really hoping the information shared will help me fix the drive on the one I bought today. 🤞🏻
Good luck
Hmm don't know if I have seen a mower with two drive belts that is that small. Excellent diagnosis and repair. That pulley reminds me of my pulley on my old Cushman scooter. Great video.
D Butler yeah apparently they have them as well. Thanks for the comment mate
Thanks mick..I would like to at least get a beer out of my old 41..Great job!...beers all round!
Thanks mate
I'm doing a 41 it drives very slow but when you lift roller of ground it flys round as normal.....replaced a brocken bracket so reckon its new belts
Could be..

Good on ya.. yeah just get the simple ones to start with and work your way up as spares become expensive with the top end mowers.. thanks for watching
Another cracking video kick mate hope your week is going well so far
coatbridge shamrock 2012 all good my end mate.
@@themowerman glad to hear it mate get a catch up with yous on Saturday .

Well done mick great work and some great information. Hope you and family are well 👍
Hi mate.. we are all good thanks for asking.. yeah lots of information in this video.. thanks for watching
Another great video mick I was expecting you to have to change those pulleys but a good clean and oil up and she as good as new
Yeah mate.. bit of a clean and away she goes
cool weird roll instead back wheels never saw such a thing before 👍😀👍
Search Hayter mowers on youtube. Few videos out there
Very common over here mate.. hayter are one of the leading brands over here.. hope your good
A nice easy fix and service. Those pulleys are what you find on CVT transmissions. The variable pulley gives you the different gear ratios. Good to see the DeWalt getting some action. I've got one myself to compliment my DCF899.
Yeah I love my dewalt.. hope your good mate
Great video Mick. I can allways tell if a Hayter has been used commercially by it's wheel tread wear. That 41 has low mileage.
Good job Mick.
Ta mate.. hope your good
@@themowerman yes, I'm good. Hope you and yours are.
Benedict White all good here mate.
Nice video mate. The new 41’s have one drive belt now
Not seen one yet in my workshop.. only a question of time I suppose.. hope your good mate
Those pulleys are very similar to the variators on modern scooters for changing the speed.
Ok. I'm not in the know.. hope your good mate. Going to pick up an air hammer this week.. it took the flywheel off with no problems
This was great to watch, top stuff Sir 👍 Tam.

Getting better , your vids
james allan ta mate
A tricky fix mate job well done.
Ta pete mate..
Hi mick.. ive a kutmower to look at lost self drive, just seeing what im going to be getting into.. think its spring, cable ,transmission set up..
Hmmm well you will know when you start to take it apart.. let me know how it goes
I’ve seen a few of these 41s and all have had a spring on that pulley. and it’s a very strong spring as well.
Yeah that is what I was thinking.. I will check the diagrams to see
Micks Mowers definitely got a spring. I’ve got a picture on my phone from when I had one apart in November but I don’t know how to publish the pictures on here. Lol.
nigel burton Emil it to me
Micks Mowers send some pics mate let me know if you get them. Keep up the great work 👍
Micks Mowers hi mick. I’m working on a Suffolk punch 17ks at the moment, why do they have an oil filler and dip stick at both front and rear of the engine?
Surely you can just add oil in one place ?
Great job mick
Ta mate.. how did you get on with your mower
Great video watching from Germany
Hi hi thanks for watching
Brilliant video's, do you a video on replacing the rear roller on a Hayter Sprit 41 (2015 model), I having problems removing the metal pins that hold the cogs / chain in place, what do you use to remove these.
I don't think I do sorry
@@themowerman OK thanks, What do you use to remove the metal pins that hold the cogs / chain in place, thanks.
@@robellis513 a small hand punch
Sounds like a severe case of a lack of lubricant. And she's will be ready to rock and roll. I think that it hadn't seen oil scine it left the factory Mick. 😎👍
Yeah mate.. if the side guards were on it would stop most of it..
nice job mick buddy
ta mate hope you good
How do I take the cover off a hayter 41 spirit chain drive. I've undone the bolt and it won't come out. Please help.
Brilliant Mick just picked up one of these and the pull cord needs replacing as a bit frayed by the handle. I was thinking of cutting the end off and pulling out a little bit but seems jammed now in the recoil. Only the plastic guard on top of the engine has three integral clips. I unclipped it to get to the recoil but seems still fixed in place by another plastic piece under it towards the front?
Do you know how it comes off please?
Bend the tabs over . It should twist.. I will need to twist or the spring will jump out ...
@@themowerman oh yeah brilliant Mick thanks. I worked out how to get pull cord going longer by holding the cord and Winding the blade by hand of course with gloves and the plug disconnected lol
I find it a bit wobbly on the wheels. Looks same as that one wobbling about bit crooked?
Very good video and very helpful. My son brought his Haytor to me to fix. I found the aluminium bracket attached to the gearbox was broken. He has ordered a replacement but it will be a few days before it arrives. I hope I can remember where everything goes and don't end up with a bolt extra or missing.!
Lol I have one with the same problem
Hi mick, on the primer is it normal to have a hole in it? Not a split just a hole in the center
Subscribed. Smashed the bell. What more could a man ask for 👍🏻

Try this video.. th-cam.com/video/81dO73OojPQ/w-d-xo.html
Wild it has two belts never seen that across the pond state side. Awd mowers are even one belt!
It's the best looking mower on TH-cam right lol
Very informative video thanks a lot
Your welcome
Hi Mick love the show, I have a question, do you know if you can buy the thin tin plate that goes in between the two pulleys , on the variator pulley , I can’t seem to find it separately, many thanks John
I don't think so mate .. I will have a look .
what is the reason for the back roller?? and not wheels??
K&D SCRAPPING it flattens the grass and gives better strips. Good for flat lawns
Hello. Iv just picked up an old hayter 48 and the rear roller is fine going forward but locks solid when I pull it backwards. Is this a drive chain issue? Love the videos. Cheers
Well what a good video
Ta very much hope your ok mate

What to cook the turkey lol yeah the old side drive is a better system
Great video mick , very knowledgable, wheres the little led torch from buddy ,

Is that wee mobile table height adjustable or pump able upable?
Yeah it's on 4 wheels and pumps up and down

Great video as always! Do you like the rollers or rear wheels better for mowers? Never used a roller mower before here in the states...
It depends on the lawn.. for a well looked after one I would say a roller... For a yard that is a little bumpy I would say wheels
My hayter mower ain't going full speed, is there anything u can tighten so it pulls better?
It could need belts changing or the variable pulley may need changing
@@themowerman i was told it needs adjusting that’s all from the dealer who sold it me
@@wildfruits477 ok.. so in the middle of the carb should be two plastic bolts.. just undo them a little and try that. If not it will be what I said..
@@themowerman is that to make the roller pull faster? it’s self propelled
@@wildfruits477 yes
Got a drive issue on my hater, its stuck in drive when its running, can you point me in right direction..thanks Andy
Gearbox cable or lever stuck?
Hi mick, good fix and service. where is the hayter made, i've never seen one other than on your channel?
Hayter has been designing and producing premium quality lawn mowers at its headquarters in Hertfordshire since 1946 - and in 2016 celebrated its 70th year in business

It goes to show that it hasen't been serviced propley in the past
Yeah mate.. and had a lot of use too
Tiring to catch up on everyone videos. #73 They use to have those little metal funnels that use to put inside the oil bottle. I wonder if they still make those. hmmmm.
Yeah you can still get them but I only see them in car motor oil bottles
Pity you didn't show how to replace the bastard return spring that is attached to the drive pulley bracket! 😑🤣
Sorry... It's difficult to fit it all in..
A bit of slack in the old girl , Centrifugal force, really .......nice new oil...and stop being lazy.lol.. full advert watch as played on laptop...
lol me lazy i dont think so
