Chain is all done with help from above, thank you.
Now onto the mower deck itself which is proving more of a puzzlement. I had the front collection of linkages off for painting and now even with photos once refitted cant get the deck to engage / disengage or height adjuster to operate properly. It doesnt seem to make any difference if the deck is hooked up or not. This assemblage of levers, links etc and coordination their movement between engaging the cutter and deck height has me baffled.
My first query is, do the points on the Cutter Housing Connecting link, arrowed, move or are they firmly tightened up ? Mine move, in fact all the bolted points on this assembly ( housing link and axle link) flop about and the bottom bar of the link can easily be pulled out of any kind of alignment (Pic 2).
Second query, if everything just needs tightening up is there a particular angle needed for fitting the cutter link to the axle link, mine varies. see Pic 3 an 4.
Any ideas or photos of how it SHOULD be setup much appreciated. The same setup applies to early model Stockmans or Orions and possible others.
