Blade became unbalanced and vibrated the mower. Caused loose connections in the protection circuit and start key.
Removed cover and repaired the protection circuit. Identified a short with one of the brushes on the motor. Repaired the brush assembly with hot glue and J&B weld. Replaced blade and inserted the block for mulching. Mower runs better now than it has ever functioned.

  • very easy repair.
    Parts arrived quickly, installation was easy and to me the soft plate is better than the one that came with the mower.
