Did wonder if it was something to do with forum dates, but thought I would check first. Thanks for clearing that up. Will get on with it now, cheers.

News update. I finally have the gearbox back and running.

We had to turn the oilite bearing down to fit but left a flange on so that it can’t work through the casing again. (Why they didn’t fit that as standard escapes me!)
I had to combine two other bearings to make up the bush inside the clutch swing arm. Unless you are a real stickler for detail you’ll never notice.

Thanks for the advice, I’ll post some photos

I could not believe how unlucky you have been with the weather but looking at these photos your Bog Mats ARE KEEPING IT AFLOAT.

from my past experience on hydraulics if there is a filter it is always as close to where the oil leaves the tank to stop any bits etc going inside rams and oil pumps. international ind loaders have them inside the tank to get at them there is a plate on the tank itself for hand acsess to undo it for replacement. hope this little gem helps you find it.

funny you should say that Charlie but I know a middle aged woman who gets turned on by the smell of old fashioned creosote. good job you cannot get it now without a licence, because she lives next door ha ha.

Tidy looking job. I have use the Jetcut in my younger days, bit of a workout. I think Id go for the bike now.

I never knew Teagle did one of those Alan, mine if he be Cornish he be good. Is that a similar engine used on their hedge trimmer. I will try not to put another tank in a basket on here John.

At last the rebuild has started,and taking lots of photo’s has paid off. the bolts which hold the mower handle bar framework are different lengths and pictures helped a lot with getting the main handles the right way around. will not be putting engine in at the moment because the total combined weight will be to heavy for me to manage safely as I had to bring her into the shed on its front rollers in a side ways manner. A hot tip needed to make the front and rear rollers look a lot newer than they are at present. all ideas considered as they look shabby THANKS.

Hi john
I hope to have it all done very soon ?. Got home early today and all I managed to get done was to fit the rocker spring, then guess what? it started to rain!!

A man with no nerve by the looks of it !! its not bad for a first attempt,wait a minute I will just have a Butchers at the tank,yes its about a 1950 ‘s one. shame, its taking up some room in the delivery basket. how does he legally stand on the queens highway ?

[vhgmcbuddy]

wow what a journey ! with all that information on paint codes and actually working with the mixing department most of us would have enjoyed the new experience Darren. Results look brilliant but….did you spray, or brush ? which ever way you went it really looks the biz .
