Heres the pics of the Deutschers


The first one. I was thinking chinese but then i bought the Vanguard motor to fix to go on it. Havent got far. Could be a challenge as it was originally a G65 on it and they are a fairly upright motor.




This one is Dads.






Not that ive had either of these working but from all reports they are a dependable unit.

On the second one theres some bits of RHS that came with it that space up the motor, not shown in the picture, the belt to the deck spindle needs to be in alignment horizontally as well, and that also tensions the drive belt.

The lever on the LHS of the machine slides the deck back and forth, it has an over centre on it to 'lock' it into engagement. The rods that do this are threaded for adjustment.
I would assume that the process is to set the motor up so that the drive belt has the right tension and then adjust the deck to suit.

The pulley on the deck spindle is height adjustable.



I thought with the design of the Whirlwind and the Deutscher above it might work for you.
If you had a few of these to make it might be easier to go with scratch built rather than having to rely on recycling a ride on deck to build each one.
