Hi everyone,
Am new to this forum and have recently obtained a SB45 to restore. Pics attached. I initially just want to get it running and then will look at updating the paint job etc down the track. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. I have replace a few parts - successfully the cutter adjusters both LH and RH. There are 2 main issues 1. Clutch not disengaging - cutter always rotating and 2. Self propel not working.
1. Clutch not disengaging - in an attempt to solve this I replaced the clutch cone lining and clutch cone. I have also moved the clutch away from the motor and made several attempts at adjusting the lever and screw underneath it without success. The cutter is still engaged. Any assistance is appreciated. See pics.
2. Self propel not working - initially the self propel would not engage then it seemed to free itself and it worked. When it was working it was hard to control and quiet fast. I attempted to adjust the cable tension however this result in the drive clutch lining being spat out the back. I think I may have tighten it all up too much. I have since replaced it but am now having trouble adjusting it all. Any assistance is appreciated.
Some of the possible causes to problem 1: I looked at some of the forums and notice that I did not glue down the cork clutch cone lining. Should I do this. What glue should I use. I have also noticed that the one of the clutch shaft keys are missing - next to the lever.
Some of possible causes to problem 2: I have not glued down the cork lining. Should I do this. Also any tips on adjusting the cable.
I cant seem to add my pics. I will try these later.
