Thanks DaveT, found the screw and removed the backplate. Brilliant.I wonder if you can help me with one other question. I took the chain cover off the drive between the engine and tiller section. It was packed with 70 year old grease which I removed. Any idea what type of grease I should re-pack it with. Thanks again for your help

Hi, The on line book is 1962 at 2 shillings so is later.
The large general assembly picture of the engine shows the set screw as item 45. EM220 . It should not have changed.
See if your copy has that picture.

Regards. Dave

Thanks DavaT. I couldn’t load the online page that you posted but have included photos of a parts lost that came with the motivator. Is this what you were referring to?

Hi, There is a download manual on http://www.winglet .
I think it’s EM220 , item 45 you need to find.
Set screw .

Do you think this could be it, to the left of the switch wire connection?

Hi, The manual shows one other attachment. A countersunk screw at 11 o’clock looking rewards. I thought it would be visable in your photo , it should be hiding behind the LH end of the coil. Might require a right angle screwdriver.
Good luck ,

Regards. DaveT.

If you like reading Wristpin and Charlie, then you might just have a good read about the history of Automower timber tractors in Old Glory the August issue, showing all their winches.
Charlie you have more than once sat on that crate full of Automower printing plates, while sifting through goodies in Mr Walling field’s caves!

Thanks for your reply. It does sound like metal to metal thanks. Not sure how to find my area VHGMC rep? Please can you inform me how to find him? I live near Oswestry – Shropshire. Thanks.

[vhgmcbuddy]

Thanks for your reply. The clutch is fine and there is no overload clutch.

[vhgmcbuddy]

Definitely sounds like metal to metal. Perhaps that clutch is not quite sorted. Remote diagnosis is always tricky, perhaps your area VHGMC rep can point you in the direction of a member with Howard knowledge.

I hope that this does not add to the confusion but I have a parts book from the early 80s and the numbers are nothing like those that you have , so I’m guessing that your machine is a much later version. If it has not been re- engined the BS Model, Type And Code Numbers will give an indication of the machines date . The Code Number indicating when the engine was made.

Forgot that I already had a scan in a dropbox file !

Good morning folks
Having trailed the Internet i have located 5 sources of the worm gear unfortunately they all guoted a very similar part number which I cannot tire up to the part numbers quoted to identifying Mountfield cultivator parts
The numbers quoted by the suppliers are Oem worm gear parts number as 1812-0862-91 or prefixed with a S or s18122086201
One supplier did quote it as a direct replacement but did not give the part number it replaced
Can any member help me with this problem
Keep safe
Peter
