- Behind this door is something I've never used before and if I can get it running we'll see what I can do with it.
Thanks for watching, please give the video a like and I hope everyone has had a great Easter weekend.
Cheers and catch you next time.
My clients got one in the garage, was her here husbands pride and joy.
When I started working for her she wanted me to use it as her husband had. Sadly her lawn was no longer a bowling green like it used to be and fortnightly cuts weren't going to work with a fine lawn cylinder mower. Used it for a couple of cuts before reverting to my Honda rotary.
They can come with a great scarifying cassette which we used for years every autumn which was brilliant. Good mowers these.
Similar story with this one, great for fine lawns cut twice a week I guess. Cheers for watching 👍
I used to cut bowling green with similar mower
Most still are I think, well maybe something similar but modern. You enjoy the golf course days? Cheers 👍
One of my customers has one, keeps the lawn cut really tight although on slightly uneven areas they jump around like crazy and are very lively to control 😂
So many lawns used to be kept the same with one of these, definitely has a mind of it's own😂 cheers 👍
Great machine
In the 1990’s we used to store qualcast lawnmowers in the warehouse I worked at, we got a 25% discount I bought 2 electric ones , wish I’d bought one of these 👍😂😂
Discount worked well for you then, these little engines seem pretty good. You still got them?? Cheers for watching 👍
Hi Nathan
I let my Mum have them, one I put a scarifier attachment on and at the start of the season it used to rip the hell out of moss.
I have a petrol mount field for the allotment, always starts first pull even after winter.
We love your dry humour it makes the channel 👍
Good to see they're still being used👍 cheers, no-one else finds me funny 🤣
😂 after the shit day I have had .you did make me smile. I can remember chasing of those down the garden when I accidentally let it go and the drive was stuck on i was 8 at the time 😂 .. thanks for cheering me up 👌👍👍👍🍻
No worries, hope your day improves. They have some speed and bet you loved chasing one😂
@LewisgardenservicesLtd it ended badly as it ran on to the path hit a drain cover and broke the cylinder in half😞 then had to hide it from my dad till I got another cylinder blade and try and put it back together there was a few bits left over and for some reason I think I turned it into a rotivator 🤠🤷
Takes me back to being a kid in the 70's.
My Dad had a roller mower with the car battery,took about three days to charge up.
It cut lovely but only on short grass.
I'd put it against that,4k screaming banshee any day.
Great memories 👍 I should do a mower off between them😂 cheers
Reminds me of doing my parents lawn as a child, thanks it made me smile.
Good memories I bet, thanks for watching. Bet you used to do a better job than me here too😅👍
Hi Nathan Nice one looks a genuine shed find one careful owner never race or rallied 😀😀 I picked up a free mower the other week started better than my new last year mower Have a good week thanks again
It was the old fellas pride and joy years ago, sadly he's long gone and the lawns are not what they used to be. Nice when things start first pull👍 hope you've had a good Easter
My gran had one like that but it wasn’t petrol, It plugged into the mains and my dad had an Atco cylinder mower powered by a massive battery. The first mowers I ever used in 1970/71 😳. I had a qualcast classic petrol but sold it about 5 years ago. Indestructible 👍
These used to be the mower if choice a generation or 2 ago. Not just for golf course like many think but a step up from the push cylinder mower. Great memories for you. Cheers for watching 👍
Happy Easter Nathan.
Cheers, you too 👍👍
Great video as ever.
Cheers and thanks for taking the time to watch 👍
Just pure class 😂😂😂😂
👍👍 was a £50 cut right 😂
I have a guy at the tip near me who holds on to these all the time for me there so good and easy to work on
It does look super simple and easy to work on, except fitted the collection box😂
Nothing cuts like a cylinder mower 😉👍
This did great on that long uneven lawn so would be amazing on a tidy area. Thanks for checking in👍
Hi dude. One of my customers has one of these and we swap the blade cassette for the scarifying one. Does a good job!
Cheers
Perfect combo then for a fine level lawn👌 cheers for watching
When we first started in 1982 we had an Atco 34 and a Webb 24 .. they were great for the big old houses but as we got a few commercial sites they weren’t really suitable for that obviously.. on a nice flat lawn the cylinders do leave a nice finish if sharp ….
They were the mowers of choice on lawns years ago, few early customers used to have Suffolk punches in the shed👌
I'm like you I've never used 1 in my life. Not even on huge private estates I've been employed by.
I've been offered a few when the old boys have passed but I've got no interest!
Maybe when I've got nothing better to do I'll start cutting the lawn everyday 🤷♂️😂
That'll be us one day, keeping busy with the newspaper and lawn every day🤔😂
Be careful with the fuel. That age it will need to run on the E5 long term. Hope you feel full on Easter eggs mate👍
I only buy the E5 but you're right I doubt it would like it, think tash ate all the eggs😂 cheers mate👍
Had two of those, always started first time. Not great on wet grass, the side casing on the opposite side to the engine houses cogs that make the cassette spin, they are all plastic though and can easily get stripped when the cassette gets clogged……look forward to seeing some stripes 👍🏻
Sounds like you've some experience with them👍 those terrible stripes will be my first and last 😂 thanks for watching
I cannot believe that started. I have newish stihl gear that won't start like that!
It was impressive, same here... nothing starts that easy. No fancy carb etc I guess, just fuel and spark and off you 👍 cheers
Thats a golf greens mower, for mowing the greens. Didn't think people used them for gardens, i definitely wouldnt bother
Everyone used to use them or similar years ago, just a step up from the old push cylinder mower I guess. Cheers 👍
its in good nick.there must be a market for them as micks mowers always has a good stock of them 👍take it you got no bowling greens on your books 🤔
No bowling greens for me and it would be a shame to leave it sat in the back of one of my sheds. Bet it cleans up beautifully 👍
Good stuff mate 👍 had a few of these, found they do usually need a carbon clean the valves get caked, seem to run great after that and a good once over, a like em! ATB
Bet they can go on forever too. Thanks for watching 👍
@@LewisgardenservicesLtd 100% mate built to last rather than built for a season 😅 some terrible quality about at the minute.
They usually sell alright to, The old boys love em
26 yrs old dial on side height adjuster
👍👍 that'll be it, cheers
thank god for honda your the daddy mate
It's a honda? I'm the daddy 😂 cheers for watching 👍
ok thank god for b&Q
@@user-np7nw3we4l ah you meant thank god you can buy a honda instead I guess, I wouldn't buy b&q. Etesia have honda engines 👍
They dont make them like they use to!
Thankfully not 😂 it fired up beautifully tho👌
@LewisgardenservicesLtd best of cuts with them but useless in the wet unfortunately, but still a nice piece of kit.
it's actually 24 years old and you haven't put the grassbox cradle on the mower yet
How old does that make me🤔 I'm really confused now😂 thanks for watching
Why A dog is more loyal and loving than a wife, that double shed, Put your wife in one shed and put your dog in the other and lock both doors leave them in there an hour,come back open the doors and see which one will come out the doors happy to see you
