Mountfield Emblem
Hello there, this is the first time I've been to this group, I'm hoping
someone here can help. I have been given a Mountfield Emblem mower with a 3.7HP engine. Does anyone have a service guide for it or can someone please point me in the right direction of where I might get one. A search on Google has proved fruitless, except for a thread on this group back in 1999, which helped someone troubleshoot a problem they were having. Thanks for your help. Paul |

Mountfields are badged, the maker buys engines from one of the few small engine makers and bolts it onto a deck adding wheels and controls. Who made the engine? Briggs & Stratten, Techumesh (or how ever you spell it...), Honda. The B&S site has guides and diagrams for their engines but you need to know the model, type and code to get the right one(s). The B&S site has a a page showing you where to find this information stamped onto the engine. As far as servicing goes, change the oil right at the end of the season, check the plug, check the blade, replace as required. Generally keep it clean (brush off dust/cuttings) and clean under the deck and grass shute after each use. -- Cheers Dave. pam is missing e-mail |

And I seem to remember Haynes the car manual people also produce an all-in-one lawnmower book: worth asking, anyhow. My ancient aluminium-deck Mountfield, after prolonged abuse of all kinds, is on its second engine, and only about its third blade: I hope yours does you as well, but have a sad suspicion that it may not. Tip: look after the grass-box, as they're very expensive to replace (70 quid, I was quoted for my old-design one). Mike. |
