General Comments
The Black and Decker GD200 lawnraker works well. I would suggest on first use to lightly scarify followed by a heavier cut as the motor is not that powerful and could possibly burn out with a heavily thatched lawn. After a winter lay up I used mine and the tine bar bearing had seized (opposite end from motor) and melted into the plastic case. As it is just a block of metal it had rusted onto the shaft I managed to replace it with a proper ball race. The moral of the story is to lubricate this "bearing " liberally after each use.
