Thank you Alan. That is really helpful. The cam must be above, not below, the aperture and I now understand the fitting instruction. My new plastic pump has a bent steel U channel type arm and I thought that what I could see through the hole was the blade below the big end cap which would fit into the U of the arm. Your wear witness mark has…[Read more]

That is why I hope someone who knows the engine might be…[Read more]

I have owned my Wheelhorse for 15 years and use it for the purpose it was designed for rather than taking it to shows. It has been serviced by the same outfit for all this time but the mechanic at the company has recently changed and my tractor has come back not working with the suggestion that it is only good for breaking. I disagree with this…[Read more]
