G'day Ironbark ,
Hopefully over the next few days I can pull the motor off and get some picks of the sliding plate and I might get a few laser cut because as long as man inhabits this earth, grass is going to grow and needs cutting. As far as I can see there is nothing else on the market that will do what these things are capable off. Sure there is the Deutschers but the 24 can get over much rougher ground because it is much lighter and less cumbersom to move around. As MF said the PT motor is maybe not the best motor for this application but we probably won't have much choice in the future. I need to build a carby for this machine to see if it suffers from the kickback syndrome, I can't understand why it wouldn't. I was also hoping jefffrombrisbane would chime in because he got a steel pulley from a wrecker I believe for the crank. If I can find what it was off we have most bases covered so we can keep these machines going for years to come
