As I said in the post https://peakd.com/hive-106316/@markone85/unrepaired-thingsThe lawnmower had to be repaired because I needed it.

At first I thought the condenser was gone but when I took it apart and tested it and looked at it.
It was the bearing.First, I didn't open it for a long time, and I had something to see, it accumulated a lot of dirt in itself, and too much.

I decided to take it apart, replace the bearing, and clean everything.I also removed the grass cutter that needed sharpening.

I simply took a picture of the wires so I wouldn't have to remember. Although the wires themselves differ in connectors, those that go to the capacitor and those that go to the power supply itself.

When I disassembled the engine, the bearing fell apart.I simply clamped the remaining part of the inner ring in a vise and used a blunt cutter to break out the shaft.

But luckily the label on the bearing itself remained. So it was no problem to buy it, it is a 6203 bearing. Sometimes it happens that there is no label or it is damaged. In that case, you have to measure the diameter of the inner and outer rings and the thickness of the bearing itself with a sliding caliper.

I simply sharpened it with a grinder.

20260526_092014.jpgPutting the engine back into the mower itself is easy because it has its own bearing.20260526_172557.jpg
Just make sure the holes are parallel, for the screws that hold the motor.
