I've only just got home after a long day, and am very grateful to the work that members have put in with the identification of my machine. A special thank you to gadge. I am surprised that the motor is in its correct position. From the markings on the deck, the holes and from the usual setup with other machines, i assumed the motor had been moved across my machine has had welding done to hold the motor but i think that a belt/chain tensioner is missing so the person who last used this machine, modified the engine attaching to move so that the belt could be tensioned.i need to know what is under the belt cowling to know what i am missing. Looks like I'll be phoning the manufacturer next week. Thans everyone.
