  • June 13thApart from spilling petrol buy not closing the tank, the blade wouldn't grip. I first thought the holding nut had come loose but the whole shaft seems displaced.

  • June 13th: First I will remove the gear head. That gave me an insight to the grease but was not really necessary to remove. See Comment 2 for the resolution.
