Well done both of you, we're all looking forward to seeing the pics as you go along.
Now that you have your machines completely stripped down, now is a good time to check to serviceability of all the bearings as you go along....if in doubt replace them; they are cheap by comparison with the time taken to pull it all apart again to replace a faulty one!
Also. just a heads-up, the bearing on the engine shaft that you both just removed with the puller, is a
self-aligning double row. It
must be replaced with the same type if you replace it.
Serviceability of the cylinder reel bearings is essential for the correct adjustment of the reel to bed-knife clearance.
Good work guys,
