Hi to All, Whilst carrying out some routine maintenance recently, I discovered the captive cotter pin (clamping pin), that secures the inner cutter clutch half to the free end of the engine crank-shaft, was protruding from its captive position by almost 1/2" (12.5mm).
Alarmed that it might leave the cutter clutch completely at engine high speed (3600 RPM) and injuring me (a captive cotter with washer and nut attached striking me in the groin at speed would be extremely painful, to say the least ) or damage the machine, an investigation needed to be carried out to ascertain the cause.
This means removing the engine and cutter clutch from the chassis. I spoke to Joe Carroll and we decided to do another SB video of the removal process, so that our members can see how relatively easy it is to accomplish and so that SB owners can see the internals of the cutter clutch assembly.
I will post some still pics tomorrow of what we found when the cutter clutch was disassembled. Many thanks again Joe!
