Hi Bob,

On the rear of the gearbox behind the engine is a dombed cap. Prize it off. There will be a nut which just wind in till it stops.

That ajusts the slip clutch.

Make sure your cutter bar pads are not rubbing the knife too hard

Hope that solves your problem

Hi Chris, thanks that’s worked a treat, I’m needing to sharpen the knives and set the cutter bar pads. Next problem is the grub screws in the bar pads are pretty gubbed and covered in paint. It’s all a learning curve though I do know a bit cos we had a bamford finger bar reaper for cutting hay Nut that was in another life ☺️
