I wondered, when i lawn my mover bolens husky, that it heated like oven. then i looked, there were a bit short of oil, but not under minimum.
Now i wonder if it is broken in somehow, because it was so lazy when i lawn with it. Always when the blades took some grass more (it was only about 10-15 cm grown) the engine almost stand still ! Not happend when i lawn with my push behind lawn mover(with that the lawn can be grown like over 1 meter and it still moves well), only with the bolens ride on! is the motor too tiny for that kind of job? i ride with 2gear, bce the 1 gear were 2slow to lawn with ride on!
I guess the blades could roll a bit faster than now, so they would lawn better ? (must place some bigger pulley where from the blades get their moving...and also got to install some 12V blowers to suck the hot air away..)
can i look somehow the motor, if it is broken or not? (without tearing it apart)(must have new to me, bigger motor to my husky..)
