Thanks Deejay! Those threads you posted up with the pics were great.
I also realised that my sprockets are wearing a fair bit too, but I might do those on Phase II! Just wanna get mowing at the moment.
Your clutch fork adjustment advice was perfect. I don't have the engine back on yet so I was just trying to pluck where it should go. Everytime I moved the lever to the disengaged position, it would spring back, but that was because the adjuster bolt wasn't engaging the lever shaft. All set now.
I noted that my clutch cone was protruding about 5mm from the housing, so that was good advice to pull it apart as the cork looks rather thin.
When I said the cutter was spinning when the clutch lever was disengaged, I think that must have been a lever adjustment issue, ie: the clutch was still half enganged, so now I know what to look for. I wasn't looking to see how far the cone got pushed in.
SO.....the only unknown bit now is the drum clutch adjustment. I'm picking up the engine tomorrow, so I'll ask the mower mechanics there.
As mentioned in that other thread too.....my clutch bearing feels really rough. They look a bit trickier to pull out. Do you punch them out with a screw driver etc from the inside?
Thanks again!! Adrian
