Pretty fortunate with this one Squizzy that all the bushes on this old girl are either hardened steel or gunmetal. None are bronze/brass or any other soft metal bush. Check all that when I stripped the thing right down to nothing. It could just be the fact that I have too many high spots in my yards and the mowers just helping to level things out!!
I've got the clutch assembly out again to try and fix the sticking issue. Grumpy/Gadge or anyone else - tips to space out the clutch assembly properly? Noticed when I pulled the driven plates off that the springs between the square shoulder and driven plates were stuck down hard by washers. Assuming I've got it all shimmed too much perhaps? Found quite a few high spots on one of the discs so hopefully it'll fit in my lathe and I'll face it a lil bit more. Drive corks look new still which is good but I read elsewhere on here that it's suggested to smear some graphite powder over the corks to eliminate some squealing which I do get in forwards occasionally. True or false?!
Thanks.
