Thank you for the reply.

I will order the clutch body and proceed to rebuild.

Thank you for clearing that up as I was wondering if something was disconnected internally or missing completely.

Kind regards
Mike

The four stroke was a very good machine with a decent cut. It used the Suffolk 75 cc engine with a special shallow sump as the JAP had a low crank height

My thoughts exactly, I just thought I'd get someone elses thoughts as I didn't want to prematurely wear out the components including belts.

Some things I just love about the Allett/RoVer Kensington 17":

1. Backlapping - simply remove the cutting reel cartridge and place on the bench
2. HOC - the height of cut adjusting screws have a click, maybe 20 per 360* so it's very easy to adjust each side equally
3. Catcher - being a heavy gauge plastic, any bump pops out and it's lighter than the heavy steel of the SB45
4. Drive belts - thought I'd prefer the SB45 chains but the RoVer belts require no lubrication
5. Twin Drive - being a twin drive system, all the controls are on the handle
6. Grass comb - if the grass comb just behind the front roller is adjusted correctly, it makes the grass standup

I think it just shows that cylinder mower over the last 40 years has evolved and the SB45 is still pretty well a 50+ year old design.

I would measure up the existing coupling and check with UK suppliers to see if they are the same as the later couplings that are being sold. There are a number of UK mower parts retailers that appear to have stock.

Alternatively, you could contact the Australian Allett distributor to see if they can assist with details and if they have any stock here (Allett acquired all of the Atco designs, tooling etc and now produce them under their brand).

Kind regards,

Looks like it may be the same crank as a 3.5 Hp ,if so it will be 19mm or equivalent 3/4 inch.

If you have the 3 hp engine just use a shifter on the crank then measure the shifter opening ,if you don't
have a big enough shifter cut some paper the same size and measure that.
