I lost one of the two orange height adjustment wheels. Where can I get a replacement?

Thx.

@Madonna McGovern, If the handle is coming off then it has not been installed correctly. The end of the handle should be attached to the bolts which have the small notches at the end; they are referred to as dog ears. This video shows how to install the handle on the Brill Razorcut 38 reel mower: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Db1I0TXtyVg

Just received my purchase of a Brill RazorCut Premium 38 from someone who used it once. The handle came off three times while mowing. See above comment was the same. Any solutions that you know of? I live in the Washington, D.C. area.

Thanks,

Madonna

@Isis,

Follow this link to a video about adjusting the mower. I imagine it needs it.

I do not know of any mower repair shops in your area.

I bought a Brill reel mower also. It was already assembled as a floor model at the New York Botanical Garden gift shop. I am extremely frustrated that every time I mow a patch of lawn that is not perfectly level, it jams and then the handle pops off the base of the mower. I need to know if it can be permanently adjusted. Where would I bring it in the NJ/NJ area? Need a Brill mechanic!

@Trying another reel mower…,

Sorry to hear that the Brill didn’t work out for you.

I work for the company that imports the Brill mower into the United States, and your experience is not typical.

If you’re looking for a heavy duty mower, here’s what I’d recommend:

This mower is the same as the old Agri Fab mower, which is model that was available for decades.

It’s heavy to pick up, but it plows through the grass pretty easily when you push it. I use this model on my yard, because I have thick St Augustine grass that isn’t well suited for the Brill.

The Brill 38 that I bought last September is now in a box as junk being sent back to EcoMowers which is who I purchased it from. Cracking and parts flying off (today was the last straw) made this a real problem machine. I thought it was going to be great given the reviews I had seen, but I am on my way to Home Depot or Lowe’s to buy a new reel lawnmower. $239 down the drain with the Brill. A MAJOR disappointment.

I thought your site might have more information on repairs. I needed two after less than one season.
