G'day folks,
A common trap with buying engineless ride-ons is, that they are usually also missing the engine shaft pulley/coupling.
Which always seem to be very exy as a new OEM part, and a non-standard type, so there aren't any aftermarket alternatives...
PS: This webpage
http://view.stiga-store.com/villa-2015.html has IPL's for the Villa series back to 1989, so gml's machine should be there somewhere.
Nb: although it's a French webpage, the model descriptions are the English ones, and the IPL's are in Swedish and English!
