Lawn mower repair shop

[honoluludave]

Hi,

Looking for a lawn mower repair shop for a Briggs & Stratton push mower in either Si Saket or Surin.

Thanks HD

The nearest is Ruangsangthai in Buriram I believe .

Where in Sisaket are you and what's the problem?

I am in Khu Khan. Brother-in-law hit a stump with it. Got the blade fixed at a local shop. But that did not fix the problem. When it runs now it shakes & vibrates so much, it is useless. Something is out of balance. But I only can fix the basic stuff

He bent the crankshaft, gonna be cheaper to buy a new mower.

That was what I was thinking also. Was just going to try one more time to fix it. Before giving up on it.

The Isaan lawn mower repair shop that fixes the Bosch electric lawn mower my wife uses is also the Briggs & Stratton authorized repair station for Buriram Province. I have not seen the Briggs & Stratton MSPD20650 lawn mower in Ruangsangthai, but I have seen several push mowers and at least one ride on lawn mower with a Briggs & Stratton made in the USA engine at this Buriram Builders Merchants. I noted that some Makita lawn mowers in the repair department of Ruangsangthai had Briggs & Stratton engines.

Hi Kamalabob2,

Thanks for the info. That looks like my best option so far. Took it to a shop in Si Saket and they took one look at it and said no can.Thanks HD

Hi Lostinisaan,

Thanks for the offer. Right now the plan is my father-in-law is going to drop it off at Ruangsangthai on his way back to Bangkok tomorrow. Will see what happens after that. Thanks HD

If the crankshaft isn't damaged, not a big deal. The knives have to be balanced and that's very easy with a "Flex". You can hold the knives with a finger ( where it's attached with a screw and check where you've got more mass. Then take some off at this side with the machine.

You can easily check if the crankshaft is damaged by taking out the spark plug and then turning the crankshaft.

Will check the crank this afternoon before I send it to Buri Ram. The last time I had it running it was really shaking

If the crankshaft is okay, please page me. I live in the city and I guess you're there from time to time?

It's also possible that the knives aren't centered, then there's all out of balance and you're damaging your bearing(s) by letting it run...

P.S. The carburetor might need a tune up as well.

Hi Lostinisaan,

Got a good look at the blade and it is most likely shot. The repairs/welds they did in Si Saket are coming loose. Was not too impressed with it when they did it. So that need replaced for sure. The crank seems to be spinning straight on the bottom side but there is a strange wobble on the topside where the pull start is. Thats about all I can tell you except I probably need a new spark plug too. HD

I took note of the specifications of the Troy Bilt 54 inch Mustang Zero Turn Mower today in Buriram. Quite a bit larger than the electric start Troy Bilt lawn mower I bought my wife earlier this month.

My golfing partner picked up a Troy Bilt lawn mower today in Buriram. Seems they repair Honda lawn mowers and Troy Bilt lawn mowers at the Ruang Sang Thai builders merchants in Buriram.

I gave you that same  information on 15 December. Why do I bother?

Today I spotted two German designed compact Wolf Garten Electric lawn Mowers on display at the front of the Buriram Isaan store that repairs my petrol lawn mower.Wolf Garten is now owned by MTD and built in the PRC to Wolf Garten standards. I was assured spare parts for the Makita lawn mower as well as the Wolf Garten lawn mowers were available in a timely basis from this Buriram power tool shop.
