Fantastic tutorial! Just what I needed. Very slow and patient explanation, no extraneous distraction such as music, silly jokes, excessive chatter. Thank you.
What a perfect video!! I have just got this same model and i think it just needs a new air filter and belt and itll be golden. This video will be of fantastic help. Thank you for taking the time to film abd share the steps.
Hi. My SP53H decided that it's drive had had enough and that aspect pact up on me! Your little video on the clutch belt was perfect and saved me so much time in getting the thing stripped down. Just waiting for a new belt to arrive tomorrow and then I will have no excuse to do battle with the lawns!!! Many thanks, excellent video! 😉👍
Thank you! Clear instruction, I thought I had a major problem with the drive not working but your video has given me faith I can look and see myself before a potentially expensive workshop repair
Thank you so much. I would have been lost without your instructions which I followed to the letter this afternoon - re-seated the belt and adjusted the tension. Done within half an hour and drive working fine again.
Well my mower hit a small brick at the edge of the garden and the motor wheels stopped albeit it the rest ok. I was stumped found what looked like the gearbox but it was more simple. This video was perfect showed me how to fix it and yes the belt came off, it was packed in the gears as you mention but 60 mins to fix with a 10mm spanner and socket. Perfect. Many many thanks your a star so helpful and clear.
Excellent guide. Thanks very much for this. I’d been dreading (and putting off) tackling the drive belt on our machine but after watching your video I was done in under an hour. Really enjoyed seeing inside the gearbox too. Early Fordson tractors used worm drive like that. Hope you’re well and enjoying the summer.
Very useful video, I’m grateful about the point made regarding the woodruff key as my boss had broken in half and the key had already been lost. If I hadn’t watched your video I wouldn’t have known that I needed to order one along with the replacement boss. Thanks 👍🏻
Charly your a life saver, just brought a Mountfield SP42 (second hand, excellent condition) , the belt came off the same as yours, and is almost identical in design, apart from the engine, will have a go (Keep you updated lol)
Charly an update, success all went well apart from a retainer "spring" on the gearbox that I was unaware of, a little fiddly yet found the correct hooking points, thanks for your post, great help Cheers Mark
Turning the machine on its side may allow petrol to get into the cylinder and water down the oil. The machine is fitted with a petrol on off tap in the fuel line so turn it off and run the machine until it empties the carburettor. It would always be a good idea to change the oil at the same time. Do not turn the petrol back on until you are finished.
Absolutely brilliant video Charly. Clear and uncomplicated. The drive has been restored. I do wonder how/why the belt would come off in the first place? Many thanks Charly. The one issue I thought I was going to have when I first looked was that the the two screw heads appeared to be rusted and the star screw driver wasn't catching. It turned out they were very dirty and not four point stars, they were six.
7:38 The gearbox is not operated by belt tension their is a simple clutch mechinism inside the gearbox that engages the drive.The clutch is two metal cups rim to rim with deep notches that clap together when the cable lever is operated.
Thanks for providing this video it has helped me to understand the drive mechanism better. The manual I have for this machine has very limited technical information e.g. the 6mm setting on the adjuster. I wondered where you were able to obtain this information, or was it just experience over many years?
Thank you for this great video. It’s come to the rescue twice now as my belt protector/cover has smashed causing the belt to come off. I wonder if there is any recommended solid covers for this mower? Not just plastic covers?
We have a problem we took the mower apart to check the clutch working snow we have a spring and we don’t know where it goes, it’s a mount field sp454 can anyone help?
Good clear video. I have a Mountfield SP53H. The mower runs and drives well but there is a grinding noise coming from the rear left wheel. Any suggestions.
can you show me how to replace the drive mechanism that drives the wheels my mower is broken because the part failed it would be helpful if you could in cloud part numbers thanks james
I just bought a second hand SP533 to use in the local churchyard but when I try to turn it by lifting front wheels off the ground one back wheel won't turn or there's a clicking noise as (wheels turning in opposite direction)
Hi, Nice video. just to find out when you tilt the machine did you drain the oil? It says do not turn the machine on its side, so how did you manage to do this? without damaging the engine? appreciate your reply, Thanks
If the clutch is adjusted correctly then it's probably the gearbox which has to be replaced. They aren't cheap. If the machine is getting on it may be time to invest in a replacement.
@@Charlyfarly2 Nice one...just bought her & putting it together first impressions are good! I never picked up oil, have a drop valvoline synpower 5w30 full synthetic in the shed...can I use that in her!?

I can’t tell you how helpful this video was. Made fixing the self drive a really pleasant job that only took half an hour. Thankyou

This was so helpful I’d just about given up trying to inspect my machine from underneath. Thanks!
Thank you, this just the right video I needed, my drive belt came off today
Excellent video could listen to this gentleman for hours😊

I’ve been Looking for a while for a mower with rear belt adjuster,at last ive found one,thanks for the video!!
Turning the machine on its side may allow petrol to get into the cylinder and water down the oil. The machine is fitted with a petrol on off tap in the fuel line so turn it off and run the machine until it empties the carburettor. It would always be a good idea to change the oil at the same time. Do not turn the petrol back on until you are finished.
Thanks so much for imparting your experience and expertise. Very clear and wonderful self help video 😊😊
Thank you very much for making this video. Its very thorough and given me the confidence to tackle the job myself.I'll update my comment once done :)

Fantastic video great help really nice and slow great
Good video.. nice and simple.. well done..
How does that bar sit in side is my question 11:13 does the pin on the end sit up or down
Nice work 👌
Brilliant...
Excellent thanks
So to work on it on its side, do u siphon out petrol and just then turn it?.
Why do they say it will damage it on its side?
We have a problem we took the mower apart to check the clutch working snow we have a spring and we don’t know where it goes, it’s a mount field sp454 can anyone help?
Is the Honda IZY as good? Thanks!
Good clear video. I have a Mountfield SP53H. The mower runs and drives well but there is a grinding noise coming from the rear left wheel. Any suggestions.
Remove the wheel (easy) and have a look
can you show me how to replace the drive mechanism that drives the wheels my mower is broken because the part failed it would be helpful if you could in cloud part numbers thanks james
I just bought a second hand SP533 to use in the local churchyard but when I try to turn it by lifting front wheels off the ground one back wheel won't turn or there's a clicking noise as
(wheels turning in opposite direction)
If it helps anyone I took wheels off cleaned and oiled drive cogs and it turns fine now as one was rusted.
I have got a Mountfield SP53, I haven't used it for 6 months and now it won't start. Any idea what to do?
Is there a spark at the plug? Try some fresh petrol.
Hi have you ever had problems with turning that mowerand if you have have you done a video on how to fix it
No problems
Hi, Nice video. just to find out when you tilt the machine did you drain the oil? It says do not turn the machine on its side, so how did you manage to do this? without damaging the engine? appreciate your reply, Thanks
I didn't drain the oil. The video explains which way I tipped it and why.
Thanks
Hi done all checks all fine but still no forward motion any ideas please.
If the clutch is adjusted correctly then it's probably the gearbox which has to be replaced. They aren't cheap. If the machine is getting on it may be time to invest in a replacement.
@@Charlyfarly2 hi mine is a mtd 46 spo and clutch adjustment not same as your video any idea
How you find that mower pal, reliable?? Thinking of picking one up in B&Q...
Best mower I've had and I've had a few. It has do deal with tough work here.
@@Charlyfarly2 Nice one...just bought her & putting it together first impressions are good! I never picked up oil, have a drop valvoline synpower 5w30 full synthetic in the shed...can I use that in her!?
I have no idea, sorry.
