G'day John

Yes, I do mean that the first 33's were 'Bonmows', but 'No' as to
whether all belt drives carried the Bonmow decal.

For whatever reason, SB dropped the Bonmow name and the mower became
the simpler 16" Model 33.

The issue of belt & chain, and all-chain transmission is confusing.
I'm hoping we can sort that with your help.

It would appear that the first Model 33's were all-chain, but at
some point SB moved to the belt drive to the reel. The later Lawn Kings
moved back to all chain. Confusing? Yes.

Help!

Hi Everyone

I am currently working on a Scott Bonnar 3301 and cannot get the engine clutch lever lined up correctly as you may see from the photo. Can anyone guide to me to what I am doing wrong. I am assembling the shaft the same way it was dismantled but obviously I am doing something wrong. I would really appreciate any guidance.

Many thanks
Willo

All sorted thank you. The spacer on the shaft was stuck in the wrong position.

Hi Willo
That's great!
Remember that the final adjustment will occur when
the engine and clutch are installed.

That's what the adjusting bolt and lock nut are for
[as seen in your picture].

Cheers
