Oh and I thought you'd buy one of those new 18 volt plastic Victa's that they are flogging on the telly at the moment just to fit in with the rest of the street. Honestly who wants that rubbish ??? but that's the way the worlds going, Men who don't know how to use tools any more and are rapidly becoming more feminine every day and know more about Manscaping than repairing.
As far as the SA bearing is concerned I'd still initially pack it with HTB bearing grease and then as time progresses add some oil once a month or so. Anyway that's what I do with both my machines and any customer units that come to me on the odd occasion.
As far as the clutch cone that slides back and forth I always on disassembly and reassembly apply a very light smear of grease over the transfer shaft when ever the clutch assembly is removed. From there on I always apply oil in both holes and a few drops on the thrust pad as a course of routine maintenance. Too much and the stuff goes everywhere.
Cheers, BB.
I live a 24 Hour lifestyle, but every now and again I seem to fall asleep, well at least that's what my wife tells me.
