    Deck wheel refurb.

    The wheels on my rear discharge cutter deck where well worn. The plastic type with a rubber tyre. The Showman in his kindness, gave me some more wheels off another type of deck. These were of a larger diameter but fitted and have been in use. The only problem is the setting of the deck for mowing. I couldn't get it just right. At the back of my bench the old wheels have been residing for some time. So as it was cooler in the workshop, I decided to do something with them. First I bored them out on the lathe to 1" bore. Next two inserts made from this piece of self lubricating nylon that's been lying about. A good push fit with a drop or two of super glue. And refitted.

    Trimming the neighbours bush

    We've got new neighbours next door and their hedge was growing out of control and blocking the sun from their garden, she said her husbands tool hadn't been used for a while and thought it would be inadequate for the job. Me being the friendly person i am offered to do the job for her and tidy it all up as my tools are frequently used and up to the job. end result was everyone was happy and she said a good job well done especially in this heat. heres some photos

    I agree. really excited about seeing and hearing running, Yes it looks to have had very little use at all and been very well cared for over the years, but i need the standard specs to make sure its all set up as it should be as a start point, buts thats proving difficult at the moment, just hoping the information may surface soon, if not i will have to sadly look at moving it on. I know a few guys at Spell brook Hayter, but have not had contact for many years now, but it maybe worth an e-mail to ask if they have an archive i could delve into etc. Cheers Nigel

    Interesting, certainly, with the keyways appearing to be just over 90 degrees apart , there should be no doubt about which one to use. Bet it really sings when put into work. Seeing that the ignition cam is on the crank and not on the flywheel boss makes some of my instructions for setting the points irrelevant - and makes the job far easier than on the smaller JLOs that I have worked on. Not only is it a fairly unusual machine but it also looks not to have been over worked or badly treated.
