Reply To: More motor triple questions.

[disco2]

Hi it’s Will just a quick update on the progress with the motor triple. I have finally freed up all the reel adjusters . I made a new grass deflector for the middle unit and got all of the brake calipers free and with new pads. The brake discs are a bit pitted but they are serviceable. I might remove them and give them a light skim on my friends lathe. I also found a sprocket on e bay which is the correct size with correct number of teeth it does not have correct centre so I’m going to remove the centre of the damaged sprocket and weld it to the new sprocket. It only cost £8 for the sprocket so it’s worth a go. The old sprocket was missing it’s grub screw thus allowing the sprocket to move along the splines which probably caused the missing teeth. So far I have not spent much money on the machine although I will need to replace the 2 main drive belts mind you still way cheaper than the 2 belts for our modern Iseki mower £280 for the pair and a special size so that nothing else could be used.
Seasons greetings and best wishes
