Maybe I have a fusion of three different beasts!!
maybe the gearbox and main lower body isn.t even Wolesely?
I have noticed underneath the cutting blade there is the distinctive yellow paint colours of the old Clearways….
The last owner sold it to me as obviously non runner, I soon noticed there were multiple weird things like coil fitted back to front and internal parts to carburettor missing.. Think someone had a go and maybe put something back to front within the gearbox? I see no option visually or mechanically how To have the gearbox drive wheel turn the other way without turning the engine upside down so it turns the other way! It must be internal in gearbox or am I missing something really obvious? maybe I’m lacing it up wrong as I’m fitting this with no clear diagrams relative to this model..
