Had a generally successful weekend! It is a goer again!
Got the seized up pulley assembly apart on Friday, but of heat and persuasion it came apart without any real damage. since the book is a bit vague I thought i would take some detail shots of how it goes together, took a bit to work out how the inside bearing comes out, until i noticed the bush at the bottom comes out.
Also, I thought upon first inspection that the corks had come off the sheaves, however once I got it apart I found they had been glued to the pulley side?? Once I removed them it looked as though they had always been that way.. Since every single greenfield I've ever seen has them around the other way I put the new ones on as normal. very interesting though!
Its all back together now, gave it a bit of a run around the yard, New problem though, the clutch on the engine is slipping badly. and because it drives everything its kind of a weird feeling, as the deck slows the drive slows without the engine labouring. I have ordered some cork sheet to make a new lining, and will see how it goes. Most other hd's I've seen and got use a more clutch type lining but this one has cork on it?
