Hello jeshe0
A warm welcome from me.
I guess we have to identify what version of the 16 Imperial you have.
The two-strokes have a tapered output shaft; the four-strokes a straight PTO shaft.
The two-strokes clutch body released by a solid tap; the four-strokes with a three arm puller.
Sharpening and setting is increasingly problematic.
The trick is to avoid agencies. Go direct to the person who has the equipment.
Good advice on these forums over the years says that a visit to the local bowling club
or golf club may reap rewards - where do they go to in your area? ...
The other issue is whether a new bottom blade can be made.
Some companies can do this!
Please keep us informed as to progress.
I am concerned about the repair options on these old machines.
Hope this helps.
