Mower servicing - Haynes manual for mowers? !!

Posted by David Parker on April 7, 2014 at 6:29pm

I have a lawnflite pro 553HRS and a Hayter Harrier 41 and want to service the Hayter and I've got some work to do on the Lawnflite like change the pullcord (snapped) and other servicing. Is there somewhere I can download workshop manuals? Do such things excist? Thanks

    David, yes & welcome.

    Haynes do produce lawnmower workshop manuals :-) Not that current from experience

    Most mowers will come with/need two manuals - one from the engine maker (Honda, B&S etc) and then the 'deck'/operators manual from the maker (ie Hayter, Etesia etc).

    There are a lot of manuals attached to posts on LJN for various bits of kits and/or under specific Groups on LJN.  Also, see here

    Most engine manuals will be generic for that model across a range of different mower makes (ie a Honda GCV160 engines appears on a lot of 'kit')

    All the engine makers have "Support & Download" sections on their websites if you can't find it on here.

    if you need to search LJN (which I strongly suggest you do, as you'll find a wealth of info) then use the Search Box , top right of home/forum screen.

    Other than that..fire away with your Q's

    checked my mower. Its a few years old, but has a GXV160 Honda engine, but think they may have changed the design slightly over the years? It looks identical except the pull cord is on the other side. Would it still have the same parts, ie plug, pull cord and other serviceable parts?

    I think the pull-start assembly can be turned by 120 degrees to allow a pull start from either side. However, I am sure that early ones had metal assemblies and later ones went to plastic.

    I would strongly suspect all items would the same

    Thanks guys. Been a great help, will get and order some parts tomorrow. Who do we recommend for Honda engine genuine parts? And then service parts, plugs, oil etc? online supplier would be good
