Great. Thanks, I actually found some data on the belt. which allowed me to buy the correct Optibelt. Hoping for replies to my other post about chain adjustment etc🙂

Hello there,
Hoping that you now have a working mower I am posting this to ask if you can give me details of the drive belt on your machine? Mine has an Optibelt but the figures on the belt are worn away and the belt is so damaged it’s impossible to say what width/length it was!
Hope you can help,
J

Hello there. You’ve probably passed this on but I’m looking for just this type of mower.

Hi there,
Impressed you got the flywheel off! I was told the dynastart was similar to that used on a grey Fergie but I cannot confirm that. My machine has a coil so can’t help about the mystery black wire but I suspect Charlie is correct if it is a flywheel magneto type of spark generator as it needs an earth kill switch to stop it.
Exhaust, take a deep breath and try https://www.google.co.uk/shopping/product/1?q=gutbrod+exhaust&safe=strict&client=safari&hl=en-gb&biw=1194&bih=728&tbs=vw:l,ss:44&prmd=sivn&prds=num:1,of:1,epd:8297311519325425545,paur:ClkAsKraX5iX4ij_U8qe5ICRlGNddx7W-IotiltxYBmtsDLPoC6Fo4w0homtyXBaregKpk9LowEG7kLzMkN6bOURjM-sElYBC4ZzYepZPccFtfgC1Wsebhdm6RIZAFPVH700Sqkk2Pz_e34c2dxK75HVy7gMAg,prmr:1,pid:8297311519325425545,cs:1

No spark may mean a dead coil, try the chap I recommend in my forum posts.
Best of luck,
Where are you based btw?

Gradual flywheel slippage affects (retards) the timing and although it may have been perfectly assembled to start with it can end up too retarded to do any real work. I used degreaser, flour paper on the shaft to dull the finish then some Loctite. It lasts about a year before I have to redo it! Why Allen didn’t key the shaft at the correct timing only they will ever know!

Lucky you! Why not post an advert asking members in your area if they would like to help you assemble the bits?

Thanks 4×4, looks as though the cowling cannot be removed until the whole front end (pulleys) is also removed; is that correct?
The outer double pulley comes off easily but we cannot budge the electromagnetic hub at all.
There is a spark so I’m tempted to ignore it for now, let me know if you have any advice.
Kind regards,
J

Hello Charlie, thank you for that suggestion.Yes I have, in fact the workshop manual they sell came with the tractor and it doesn’t have that vital info in it which seemed a bit odd!

Thanks Alan,
any views on the electrics and hydraulics?
