    Back again with the questions I'm afraid.....
    Does anyone know of a service to repair/make good the drums of a PZ mower, specifically a cm135? Someone told me there was an add last year on DoneDeal but I can't find anything now.
    Both my saucers are in good condition and I even have an unused spare in the shed. The gear train is good too so it's hard to justify getting a loan to purchase a new machine when this one could be kept going with a little engineering.
    Thanks.

    To be honest with you, if the drums are shot, it's best to just go out and buy new drums for it. You could chance welding a small crack, but if you have to do too much to it or add steel to it, you risk knocking a drum off balance and ultimately doing more damage. Most agri spare stores will be able to get you a drum. They aren't that dear either. You can buy the drum separate from the saucer too.

    Unfortunately I've exhausted all avenues I can think of to find new drums for this model (the 4'6" CM135). Kramp's were the last to be making them as far as I can find out, and they haven't had them for over 7 years now, even though their parts book listed them until recently.
    Secondhand drums have also not materialised and I've been searching both here and in the UK for a few years now.
    It's also a matter that the 4'6" mower fits nicely with the DB880 on our hilly land and I'd be keen to keep it going if at all possible.

    I've been on to them every year for the last three seasons and they can't seem to get their hands on any :-(

    Other option is to buy a second hand PZ135.

    One here on donedeal for €400. You'll have enough parts for years to come.

    Also, these guys advertise that they sell factory made saucers - I'm sure the same factory has to be producing drums?? Might be worth a call:

    Unfortunately Delaney Agri are not in a position to help so the search continues....
    They do, however, have plenty of saucers in stock for 5'6" models.

    I have a question about the pz 135. The manual says ''there is a possibility that after considerable use, knives will touch adjecent drums as they are rotating. If this hppens, the saucers should be removed from the bottom of the drum, bolts withdrawn from the knive carrier 'PZ 87' knive carrier rotated 90 degrees and the bolts replaced.'' And here's the question: how do I remove the saucers? Thanks for Your response.

    theres a bolt that takes an 8mm or a 10mm allen key cant remember which size,the bolt should be near the centre of each saucer.

    Yes give them a wiggle and the should come off. Be careful though as there is a bit of weight in them
