Honda Hf2218 48″ Ride On Mower With 18hp V-twin Engine.spares Or Easy Repair

This is my used Honda HF2218 ride on lawnmower.It has a 48 width of cut and is powered by a 18hp Honda GXV610 petrol engine.It has a Hydrostatic transmission and a large capacity grass collector on the back.I have just fitted two new NGK spark plugs and a length of new fuel pipe as the original was starting to perish / split.The oil is clean as it was recently changed.The engine starts first time and sounds and runs absolutely superb with no smoke or nasty noises !!.The hour meter on the dashboard is working and it shows only 755 hours (see pic 8).The blades engage and disengage fine and all sounds good.The grass collector is in very good condition with only a couple of very small tears in the net.Both gas struts which lift the grass collector up for emptying the grass are very good with no leaks.The plastic bonnet has been repaired at the front (with rivets and tin plate) and the grille is missing.However the bonnet still opens and closes as it should !!The cutting deck body needs a bit of TLC especially at the very front.The metal is rusted through and worn thin and needs a bit of welding,repairing and painting etc.Also the blades want sharpening.I took the trouble of removing the cutting deck from the mower just to take a picture of the underside so you can see it yourself (see pic 12).I have now refitted it back on the mower.One of the front wheel bearings has collapsed.I will try to find a replacement before the auction ends and will update the listing accordingly.The foam seat has a small piece missing from the corner.The plastic fan for the transmission is broken so will now need a new one fitting (see pic 11).Although the mower all basically works i am selling for spares or repair.Im sure anyone with a little mechanical knowledge will easily be able to repair it.Any questions please ask.Low start price with no reserve.CASH ON COLLECTION PLEASE.Thankyou for looking and happy bidding :):):)
