The easiest way I have found is having mower flat on concrete and sticking 150mm ruler down through reel against bed knife and taking a reading and adjust height holding ruler there. Heaps quicker with no stuffing around.
I actually just made one of these yesterday, used a bit of 25x5 flat bar and I cut a thread in the hole, and then used a nut as a lock to hold my measure firm.
Hi guys good simple steps, I'd just remind the newbies to also make sure the front roller has no slop/ wobble like some of the older units get over the years, as when you put the mower back down on the ground the front roller can bob up and down and mess with your HOC, the easy fix to stop this is just to tighter the nuts very well of the HOC bracket on each side of the mower once you have your HOC set, so this then locks in the HOC...but just remember to loosen them again before trying to twist your HOC knob to change the HOC setting, otherwise you might strip your thread in the HOC knob! My mower came with a simple HOC bar made with Angle bar which is very ridge, so no flex which is more important for low cut lawns sub 10mm I feel. Good stuff guys 👍
Just found your channel a week or so ago. Great work fellas! About to go home this arvo, crack a stubby and make a height of cut bar. Have 3mm flat bar and a thread tap set. Hopefully it's enough thread to hold, otherwise a couple of nuts will do the job.

I just used a bit of timber, ran it through Jointer/Thicknesser and put a bolt through it. I reckon mine cos $4 lol

Yeah you’re 100% right mate. That’s a good tip and something to look out for!

Thanks for the positive feedback mate.
A very easy thing to make, and so many different ways to make it!
Enjoy mate 🤙🏽
Thanks Lads, great content!
Thanks mate! Let us know if you make one

Thanks mate when we do our shed tour video we will show it 🤙🏽
interesting james, no pilot hole before slamming the 6.5mm in? can see your not into foreplay…
Ain’t nobody got time for that!
Nice one!
Thanks mate
