Hi Jack and Voytek S
The obvious question is why did SB abandon the 33 clutch
when it introduced the Model 45?
Maybe the answers goes to the properties of cast iron
versus aluminium. Any ideas?
I was thinking it would depend on engine choice used on a particular reel mower as to what cone clutch is used
for instance if the engine choice was a Tecumseh horizontal shaft with an alloy flywheel you would need a cast
iron cone clutch to act as a rotating mass (flywheel) but if the Briggs and Stratton horizontal shaft motor with the
cast iron flywheel is used then the alloy clutch was fitted.
Heavy Flywheel = Light Clutch and Light Flywheel = Heavy Clutch
That's what i was thinking from a design perspective .
Cheers
Max.
