Hello, a newbie here. Unfortunately, whilst it has provided sterling service for the last seven years in our ownership, it has had to move over for a more modern, electric rotary mower. Not the Panthers fault, but my wife was finding it just too difficult and heavy to use. Even the original wooden rollers are in excellent condition. The question really is it worth anything to anyone or should its last journey be down to the local tip? I should have hopefully a classified advert in the December magazine offering the Panther F. It really is too good for the local tip but no-one seems to want the poor old Panther leaving me no alternative.

I recently bought a Qualcast Classic 35S which is in quite good condition. I even changed the carburettor with one that is definitely okay, but to no avail. I renewed the spark plug but the problem remains. Could the magneto be at fault and if so, where can I get a replacement? On removing the magneto, I found an Otehall microswitch located under the drive housing. It is connected to the green wire coming from the magneto and earth. The microswitch housing has lost half of its shell and some contents? Can anyone please tell me what the switch does and if I can replace the housing and possible contents? I am fairly certain that the switch located on the drive housing is a tilt switch that is designed to kill the engine should the mower tip backwards. I cannot comment on the missing parts but suspect it was some kind of weight that rolled over the arm of the micro switch to operate it. My inclination would be to disconnect it temporarily at least and run without it in circuit to eliminate it as a possible cuase of the engine cutting out while under way. Think that it had a large ball bearing in it. I was told that it was a standard fitment for German market machines and that some found their way into the home market inventory. The advice at the time was to remove it and insulate the wire from the mag so that it could not earth. Am I correct in thinking that some machines used a Mercury switch and that it was sometimes mounted on the plate where the throttle cable attaches?

By no means a cheap lawn mower, this will benefit those with relatively small and flat lawns that are regularly and well cared for. Do take the time to consult the manual on this, or else you could be disappointed. Also be aware that this adjustment, as well as the sharpening of the blades will become something you need to attend to regularly throughout the lifetime of this mower. In use the 17 metre cable ensures that this mower will cover a small garden with ease, without the need for extension cables. Providing it is both used and maintained regularly, it will be a welcome companion as you go about caring for your garden.

I tested the engine today and, of course, it ran perfectly for fifteen minutes without stopping. Also recall, would it have been Clare V?

T If anyone is stuck for a bottom blade its worth contacting Garfitts as even if they don't have stock they have patterns going back a long way and they may be able to help; particularly when the blade in question is just a flat piece of steel with a few holes in it - no lip or profile.

The engine need to cool completely before it will restart and run again, trying to start it after just five or ten minutes is a no go. Apologies as ever for my thread drifts One thing that we always looked out for was the fact that they were not double insulated and required the appropriate "earthed machine" PAT test and If damp or poorly maintained would sometimes struggle to pass it. I think that I can remember that the weights for the clockwork mechanism hung down through the floor of the lamp room into the room below. Many, many thanks.
