Thanks for this. Really useful. Changed mine yesterday having watched your video. 👍🍻
Thanks for the kind words Nick Glad it helped you Well done 👍
NOT a repair video...
Great job I’ll now try and do mine 🙂👏👍
@@stevecard11 thanks for the kind words Steve It’s a job worth doing 👍😊
Which sealant or adhesive do you use?Thanks.
Hi I used Gorilla glue Thanks for watching
I've grown enough those onions for the last few years... Great results.. I like your crate method. Thanks for the video
Thanks for the kind words They are a very reliable variety
Just purchased a weather bar/door step for my outhouse, pretty much the same as yours. Thanks for the video, I will doing exactly the same job.👍
Well done That should sort it out Thanks for watching
Thanks for documenting this
Thanks for watching Was a pleasure to document
This is a great video. Many thanks for taking the time to make it. I’ve just done my Hotpoint WML520 sealed drum. Here are some additional things people may want to consider. 1. Do drill the drum weld first before cutting open. I used a 3mm drill and made holes approx every 75mm (3”) I used this hole size to maximise the sealing width for the adhesive (Because the weld width is very narrow - approx 8 to 10mm.) 2. I decided to use self tapping screws instead of bolts to clamp and hold the drum halves together and I ‘pre-tapped’ each hole with a screw before cutting the drum apart to make assembly easier and quicker. Self tappers are cheap and easy and clamped the halves really well after gluing. (But don’t over tighten) 3.Do use a reciprocating saw. (An air saw may be better though.) Be careful not to damage the steel drum inside. Don’t bother using a multi tool, the blade gets too hot and melts the plastic. (As I discovered!) 4. Use the edge of a Stanley knife or similar to de- burr all of the plastic around the weld surfaces. ( the small burrs could get between the surfaces when gluing together.) 5. I got my bearings and main seal from a local engineering supplier. £15. Quality bearings too. Hotpoint didn’t stock bearings for my machine as it was a sealed drum. (But they sell the drum at around £200 😱) 6. Wash all soap sludge from the drum halves etc with a car pressure washer. (It cleans it really well and is quick.) And properly clean the drum spindle until it shines (use rotary wire brush in a drill for the steel but only wire wool or similar on the brass ferrule at the base of the spindle . The brass bit is important, it must be really clean and undamaged because the main seal runs on this. I used car brake cleaner to give the spindle a final wash before assembly and then a good squirt of silicone spray to help it go together. Turn the drum as you push it in the last bit to help the seal go onto the brass ferrule. 7. DO make sure the back of the bearing sleeve/retainer is supported on a block of wood or similar when banging in the bearings. The sleeve is only held in plastic and therefore could be broken free or seriously damaged. Put a longer bit of wood into the metal drum when knocking in the smaller back bearing too. 8. I ended up using white Evo Stik adhesive to glue the drum together. I’m sure the pu Gorilla glue is great, but the Evo has good reviews, is waterproof and has a temperature range of up to 100 degrees C. 9. When applying the glue, just be careful not to put too much on, because you won’t be able to clean or remove the ‘squidge’ inside the drum when assembled. This could potentially cause problems if the squidge breaks off later on and blocks the pump etc. Obviously you need enough glue though to create a proper seal. 10. It’s probably worth considering investing in a new door seal while the drum is out (£20) Much easier to but on the inner spring! My door seal was quite disgusting when I looked in all the nooks and crannies! 11. Give the drum glue the minimum of 24hrs curing time before using. Be patient! Anyway, mine is all done now and working a dream. A lot of effort I suppose, but it should be good for many years to come. Hope this helps!
Many thanks for the kind words Your additional information is very helpful and should lead repairers to tackle this job better 👍😊
Last time I did a drum it was bolted together from the manufacturers.
That would make it an easier job Andy
I can see why you didn’t show how to replace the belt, my husband spent all day yesterday trying to get the cog back into the housing after attaching the belt and no way would it stretch to drop back into the housing.section. Very disappointing video .
My videos are not the best Pamela I don’t claim them to be Any information gained from watching a video has to be better than what I had before dismantling the grass cutter Thanks for watching
Thanks, exactly what I need to see. Spot on. You'll save me £'s.
Well done Darius Glad this helped you out
Hello, first of all thank you for your video! Because of the installation of the bearings, I wanted to know whether you absolutely have to install ZZ bearings on washing machines/washer dryers, or whether 2HRS bearings would also work. Which ones are better?
Hi I just found a bearing that fitted Obviously the better quality will last longer
In mine was the Hose pipe of the pressure switch broken and the machine flooded my kitchen. So be sure that the hose of the pressure switch is in a position where it can't be rubbed broken. And / or glide a secondary hose over it, just to be sure it can't break by shaking within the machine at a sharp metal👍
Ok Sys Thanks
Well done Parky Perseverance always pays off mate 😊
Haha how bizarre 😊 I just put a two track mix on to see if CZcams would allow it It’s not been taken down so that’s good I will get round to doing a further mix with more tracks when I can Thanks for watching and subscribing 👍
oh cool. i come across you from the mower repair vid. thought i would look at your page. then spotted this. i'm into a mixing too mate. i also make stuff. wow hit man and her. thats going back a bit !
cheers for this pal. mine just burnt out a belt i think. i was doing some grass for someone and it was rather long. i didn't see a beer can in the long grass lol and it got jammed in the blade, i could smell burning rubber. i gave it 10 mins and tried it again. motor seems fine but the blade shaft dont turn. so i'm just striping mine down now. this video came in handy for me. nice one!
yip it was the belt. just ordered one. pleased about that as it wasn't an old mower.
Hi Parky Great to hear this video has helped you You will be back in business in no time Well done 👍
@@RichDavey was ok to get apart but there had to be 1 rusty screw head . it was the last one i had to get out! . sods law mate lol. the single 1 on its own underneath. had to drill the head off but then i managed to get the rest out.
Hi any tips on getting the bottom pin out it will not budge will i have to drill a small hole on the outer casing and push it in and the seal the hole i just cant get holed if the pin with any too Thank fot any help
Hi Terry If you are talking about the plastic grommet it is tricky without damaging it Try picking it with a sharp tool I damaged mine getting them out
I cant than you enough just the help I needed
Haha your welcome Mark Glad it helped you out It was worth doing the video then 👍😊
Is the blade bolt left hand thread?
Hi Kevin If I am honest I cannot remember which way the rotor turned The bolt will tighten the opposite way to which way the rotor turns
Hi Vaidas Just take your old bearing to a bearing suppler for them to measure and supply you a new set Thanks for watching
what bearings did your bought size or model i need,please let me know
Glad to be of assistance David Thanks for watching
Thanks for the instructions, most helpful.
Anyone out there requiring this trim I have listed this on eBay www.ebay.co.uk/itm/276420516472?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=sYaGfkPeSPW&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=sYaGfkPeSPW&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
Look forward to that Paul Just uploaded my fridge knocking noise investigation if your interested 😅
Hi rich taken photos in the past but never filmed my work could work on time lapse I'd need to wait for the right project then work something out be great if I can get it together thanks mate ill keep you posted
Great job for someone who never done any lead work before from a leadwork specialist keep up the good work
Wow I really appreciate that comment Paul thank you I think it’s worth having a go at these things I do admire the work lead specialist do Very tricky at times I guess
Thanks for replying large box gutters n parapet walls can be challenging as most require on site lead welding and most panels are above code five very heavy as you can imagine all the best keep up the good work
Brilliant Paul That sounds very technical I often marvel at work that has been carried out on church roofs Skilled workers like yourself are diminishing Have you thought of capturing some of your work on film Be good to see 👍😊
You should be following those blue lights Rich, call yourself a reporter 😅😅
I am waiting for my Press Association card to arrive 😂😂
Thanks for this the this is almost identical to the issue I have.
Hope it helps and you manage to replace yours without too much fuss Anthony

I shall double check my measurements and message you back, many thanks 👍🏻
Do you still have any spare sir? I need around 2 meters
Yes I do Is it 2 metres in one length or 2 pieces a metre long?
@@RichDaveyit’s a 2 meter length (1800mm really but abit more for cuts)
I will see what I can do regarding postage etc
Thankyou sir
I have measured what I have left Just two pieces at 1.4 and 1.7 Is this going to be enough if I cut you them both to a metre
How will I know where to find it on eBay please
Hi Roger Just listed it as Autotrail Trim CZcams

Thank you so much, so grateful.
@@rogerpeat7109 no problem Roger Glad to assist 👍
That would be fantastic, thank you so much. Could you sell me about a foot please
Hi Roger Yes I have some spare trim left I can cut a piece off and put it on eBay for you if required Kind regards
Brilliant video, have you got any trim for sale? I need about six inches.
Thanks for this. I've got a similar leak I think. How did you actually get the liners out? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again. Pete (Queensland Australia). BTW, your Fordson looks MUCH cleaner than mine - nice work :).
Hi Pete Thanks for your comment We used bolts and a piece of steel with holes in to ease the liners out The liners had not been in long so were not too difficult to release
Trespassing!!!
Well done!
Well done on keeping this going! Had a similar issue with a sealed drum, but gave up and bought a new one. Things should certainly be built to be repairable and not require sawing apart!
Thank you for the comment Yes indeed We live in a throw away society am afraid But one day there will be a time when we run out of replacements
My same experience... next time I will give it a try like him.
@@giovmari thanks for your comment It’s certainly worth a go Just the time involved stripping and rebuilding
Sadly front screens are laminated so the don't shatter and fall to pieces. Only side windows will do that. You can see the problem in the videos. I don't think this device will help you escape through the front screen - which may be your only option.
2 years ago but Im wondering if you can remember what the torx size was for the drum pulley? T35? T40?
I cannot remember what size the Torx was. Sets of Torx bits are quite cheap and a handy addition to anyone’s tools.
Hi there how did you Know what size bearings to buy before you took It apart regards tony
Hi Tony Once you have extracted the bearing take it to bearing supplier for measurement and purchase. Many of the components in household goods are used in different applications. You shouldn’t have a problem finding one. Regards Rich
@@RichDavey many thanks Rich.👍
@@tonybean1000 good luck You can do it 👍😊
Thanks for this video. You have just showed us how to completely recondition this lawnmower I have similar issues with mine I will check on/off switch first. Then follow your instructions Good educational video
Hi Saeed Many thanks for your comment My video is far from perfect but I am glad it’s helped you get running again 😊
Great video, I'm in the process of doing mine, I'm finding it hard to get a replacement bearings other than that I have it took apart and the old bearings out, I'll probably have to watch this video a few more times before I get it all back together 👍
Ahh thanks for the comment Paul Am certain you will locate a bearing and get it reassembled Good luck 👍👍
All I can say is 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Many thanks for your input Jack 👍
And just like magic the belt is on!
Yes John it did take a bit of getting on but it’s worth the time stripping down. Thanks for the comment
