Hey Greenfielder, cheers for the info heres what i know, the engine that currently in it is a May 1970 built engine i had it fired on fuel squirted into spark plug hole , but have a carby issue, and i've successfully managed to damage the long brass tube trying to get it out of the fuel bowl, now its stuck in no mans land, cant get it out cant get it back in, about to order a new carby from ebay I am unable to get the drive discs to turn, they seem to be seized?? axle with wheels turns fine they just seem frozen in place, the fwd reverse mech seems to work ok as well.
here's some pics of the handbrake, which appears to be just a piece of belt pressed into a pulley by a lever. and the centrifugal clutch which i can't find any names numbers or branding of any kind. this would have been fitted i assume when the cutting deck was removed and the mower was made into a tractor only
My Model 2 would need a complete engine for Resto as its had a later model engine fitted which does not fit under cowling, i may investigate remote mounting the tank yet. It also needs new corks on the drive discs i think as when it was last used it required massive effort on the pedal to make it go forward even slowly, where as reverse worked fine.
