Hi Everyone.

This is my first post here. The forums have already been a wealth of knowledge on my mower journey. I recently purchased a 16 inch victa imperial which I am in the process of restoring. I have been slowly been dismantling the mower but have hit a few road blocks. Would anyone have any insight on how i remove the centrifugal clutch from the engine output shaft? I would like to paint the frame but cannot remove the engine because of this.

On a second point, I am in Brisbane but have had no luck finding anyone who actually sharpens the cylinder and bedknife on these units. Could anyone steer me in the right direction of someone who can help? Seems most shops only want to deal with scottys/rovers.

Thanks for any help you can offer.
