Hi, from newbie...just registered. Mainly as I gathered from another post that manuals for above mower were available to download? I even subscribed US$15 (as I was earlier denied access to manuals) but then found there were none for the 1866 model anyway.
All is not lost though...a great website and forum and maybe someone can steer me in the right direction. OK, I bought above unit and testing it (on the flat) it seemed to cut and go OK. My place is on the crown of a hill so not all mowing is downhill obviously.
It just struggles up hill with extreme effort required on forward pedal. In fact I gave up using it. Looking at the clutch discs under the seat, only about 1mm left on friction material on both. Also there is a lot of movement where the clutch linkage shuttles the drive discs sideways for forward/reverse. I can see a centreing adjustment but not sure if there is an adjustment to fix that "slop" or maybe the friction discs are too far gone and require replacing.
Are there any maintenance or parts manuals available for these 1866 autos? And are clutch (or any) parts available for same? I could take it to a dealer but not worth spending more $$ than I can, for what it is. It needs a a few other things to sort it but I won't go into those now as unless it drives, not much use sorting those.
Sorry about long post....Cheers in advance.
