Hi all
the blade boss on my mower has broken up with no sign of the key.
I know I can replace the boss but just checking if it is either 4 or 5 mm, any experience of these mowers

No idea but maybe measure the size of the slot on the shaft.

Check Mountfield on the web or ring a mountfiled dealer probably best bet. At least you're blade is fitted with a key...unlike ours, which my wife found out wasn't when she managed to bend the shaft...

The actual shaft has on one side a plain vertical key way, whilst the other side has two semi circular pockets for a woodruff key.
Sharkbait or Mcmooter normallybinthe know!

Well all sorted, new boss fitted using 4mm woodruff key.
loacal lawnmower repair shop supplied parts and under cut internet price aswell. If you live in the Chester area then check out Chester Small Plant in Saltney.
