Description

What is the function of a baseplate drive assembly in lawnmowers?

The baseplate drive assembly transmits power from the engine to the cutting blades so they can rotate and effectively trim the grass. It has a series of interconnected components, including a drive belt, pulleys, and a blade spindle assembly. 

The engine generates power which is transferred through the baseplate drive assembly and converts and distributes it to the cutting blades for spinning and cutting.

Why do you replace it?

Continuous usage and exposure to various elements can cause wear and tear on the components of the assembly. The drive belt may become stretched or worn out, resulting in reduced power transfer and ineffective blade rotation. 

Damaged or malfunctioning pulleys or blade spindle assembly cause inefficient operation or complete failure of the cutting mechanism. If any components are severely damaged or broken, replace the entire baseplate drive assembly.

Is this baseplate drive assembly a genuine spare part?

This baseplate drive assembly is a genuine Flymo lawnmower replacement part. Your lawnmower can work good-as-new in tidying up your garden.

Flymo Centrifugal Baseplate

Just what I needed to replace a ball bearing that had fallen apart. The screws holding the plate to the plastic body had rusted so it was hard to dismantle, but I used new stainless steel screws to put it back together. Easy to fit, mover working fine. I sharpened the blade when it was all apart.

Flymo part easy to fit.

Had to change the drive assembly as the bearing failed. The part in my flymo did not have the internal brake on the drive assembly so spun freely although the website said it was compatible with my mowers product number. My mower had the brake on the motor shaft. I assume a modification to overcome slipping belts. So decided to fit it as the motor seemed ok for the small extra start up load and the grass was getting long. Flymo now performs well, no excessive vibration. Part arrived quickly.

Flymo Baseplate

Works brilliantly, Flymo works like new. Online 'How to do' vids were a godsend. Unfortunately, it took 5 times longer to remove one recessed rusted & broken old screw than it took to do the complete job.

Genuine part, good quality

The mower had become very noisy, and vibrated badly, the reason being that the bearings on the main shaft had worn and were loose. You can't replace the bearings, you have to buy this complete baseplate assembly. The part supplied is genuine Flymo, so no compatibility problems. It's a bit tedious to fit - remove the blade and fan, then top cover, then remove the baseplate which comes out complete with motor. Take the motor off the baseplate together with the drive belt, and reassemble everything again with the new baseplate. Hint: the drive belt needs to be insanely tight otherwise it slips. The only adjustment is the motor securing screws and you need some leverage to get enough tension while tightening the screws.

Saved me buying a new mower

Thankfully managed to find videos on YouTube on how to fit as pretty much need to disassemble the entire mower and getting the motor cover off takes more force than comfortable. Fits an Easyglide 300 really well and means I didn’t have to buy a new mower. Early days but seems as good as new

mower repair

Hi, I bought this part to repair my flymo lawn mower. I was not sure when the part arrived if it was o.k. so contacted Ransome spares to check with them. The part was very tight to rotate by hand so I asked them to confirm if this was normal for this part, a chap named Jack contacted their supplier and reported back that this was normal. I fitted the part and the mower works well, so it saved me having to buy a new mower. Prompt delivery and good customer support!

Simple fix

Bearing had failed on existing unit. Not possible to just change out just bearing but this new baseplate was a simple fix and lawnmower now works as new. Should have ordered new belt to change at same time as current one is tatty

Part Number: RS274787

This part is a direct replacement for a weak component! Bearing failure is a common problem and changing the bearings is rather difficult because of the plastic housing and the moulding process! My best solution was to change the Centrifugal Baseplate Drive Assembly! It worked out much cheaper than replacing the lawnmower!

I have a Turbolite 400. Prod code: 9634100-01C Ser no: 9081076. Never happy with it. The machine loses hover easily & forever needs coarse filter cleaning. Garden is very small. I'm checking things out. The motor bearing is nice and free but the bearing on the centrif baseplate drive assy is very, very tight & difficult to turn by hand. It seems this bearing cannot be replaced. Do I need to replace this entire assy or should it be like this. I suspect it needs replacing. Please advise.
By Brian - Newport - 05/05/2021
Hi Brian, the drive assembly for your model is RS274799. The centre will be hard to turn by hand, so I'm not sure if this will be the issue. I'd recommend contacting an engineer to see if they can offer any advice.
