Thanks for your quick reply guys.
Here are some more photos. Without much difficulty I can remove the cotter pin with a bit of jiggling.
In terms of the history of the mower, I bought it second hand from Turf Machinery Services in about 2005. It cut like a dream but as you would expect it lost its edge over time and started to give a few problems, so it sat in the shed. Now I have the golf green I have a good reason to use it again and restore it to its former glory. It has a ten blade reel so hopefully will do the job.
I took it in to the local mower shop last year for a service and sharpen, they charged about $250, but I wasn't that happy with the job. It still seemed to tear the grass and the reel was running even when the clutch wasn't engaged. I have managed to fix that myself.
I think I might lash out and put a new motor on it - I am thinking about a Honda GX 160
