Hi gary,
I will put the details on the site tomorrow when I am in the office. You can change the pulley and belt and blade coupling as well, all of which should give about 30% plus increase in speed.
All the parts except the coupling are available from any bearing supplier, the coupling from your Etesia dealer, fitting time 30 mins max.

Gary,

 

Les pimped mine and I reckon depending upon the ground conditions getting 25 - 60% faster well it seems it but like all mowers you soon get use to the speed and wished it would go even faster!

 

I was informed that the 46's are known for their slowness, but on most smaller lawns I never found this to be an issue before it had the mod.

 

I am however seriously thinking of investing in a push model as they are so light and more than acceptable for most lawns of any size.

Hi Guys

My 46 is barely driving.  How do I fix it?  It's not so much the speed, just doesn't seem to pull along like it used to since fitting new drive cable.  Almost like the drive cable supplied by MacDougall is too long?

Cheers,  Neil
