I think I might be better off buying an electric start petrol mower.

Hi,
I used to start an old mower with an electric drill when the windup spring broke.
Cheers

I've seen a few YouTube videos on doing this conversion.

I wish i could do that to my 8.5HP chpper/mulcher,as i get older,it is getting harder to start.

Hi,
Take the cover off the starter mechanism, if there is a pulley bolted on with one big nut, use that with a socket driven by your drill .
Cheers

That is a sure sign that you were not meant to be a Gardener or a Fridgie & one day you may find you'll need a Nuclear weapon to kick it over. That 'll be the time to kiss it all goodbye.


ED. for nuclear knowledge on the size weapon to us,e contact an ex-Sailor.[biggrin]

On NYE I mowed the front lawn with my Ryobi 18v mower and hit one of the bolts that holds the lamp post, the machine tripped out, and I thought I was going to have to buy myself a belated Xmas present of a new mower, but after a minute or so it restarted!
