Just a couple of quick photos detailing the attachment of the top deck bar lugs to the height adjust mechanism. Attachment is via a small chain link. Total length of the chain is about 3". The chain allows the deck to ride over rough ground. Attachment of the chain is simply a bolt of sufficient length such that the chain can move freely and the lug on the bar is clamped. Note the outer nut is nyloc and the inner one plain and they have a washer under the nyloc nut.
I've been doing a pretty serious shed clean this weekend and have been constantly walking past one of my wrecks in particular and noticed/remembered that the cutter clutch mounting to the frame is also bushed. I didn't mention this last weekend when we were discussing the cutter clutch. Usual story, bush OD and ID to suit the hole and bolt and slightly thicker than the lug so the bolt can be snugged down while still allowing the mechanism to pivot freely.
Apologies for this. If you'd like me to post you some or all of these bits rather than you making them I'm more than happy to.
First two photos show the deck attach. Disregard the long bolt through the chain. This is someone's idea of a 'repair'. Third photo is trying o show the bush in the cutter clutch mount lug.
