Well after bucket loads of emery rubbing internally I've finally managed to fit the sleeve to the Honda snuggly and now the original blade carrier is fitted. One thing I still need to do and that is replace the key steel that's locks the boss to the crank with a wider size as the sleeve doesn't allow correct protrusion into the keyway of the crank. So I've ordered a piece from CBC Bearings as good ol' South Australia can't keep anything in stock and it's got to come out of where else ? but Melbourne...........of course.
Anyway I still have to procure a set of 4 new blades to fit but once these normal things are done then that'll be it and good happy mowing of everyone else's gardens that I do with a conventional mower is concerned.
Once again a huge thank you to Norm who helped out with the sleeve. You're an absolute Champion.
Cheers, BB.
I live a 24 Hour lifestyle, but every now and again I seem to fall asleep, well at least that's what my wife tells me.
