  1. Unfortunately Danarmdave (my husband) died last year and his whole collection is now up for sale including all his Danarm chainsaws, McConnel saw bench, Model F Allen Scythes with saw bench attachments, Bonser Truck, Westwood Mowers etc.  They are going up for auction next Saturday, May 27 at Pentland Livestock.  Full details and pictures (scroll through to the end) are available at www.pentlandlivestock.co.uk.


  2. before we bought it the guys young sons used it to cut a paddock they had horses in and he said it kept on breaking down but did not say what happened as the engine was ok it suggests to me the belt kept coming off as it was off when we picked it up      thanks danarmdave


  3. hi i took it to the old guy at garden machinery place and he worried at it for about an hour and job done he just adjusted this /that and bent the belt guard to suit and as you say engage cutter before lowering was the first thing he said to me and he fitted a kevlar belt and seems to be working a treat now so fingers crossed thats it done    thanks for everyones imput much appreciated   danarmdave


  4. decks just been rebuilt so is fine i might take it to the local garden machinery theres a guy whos been there since the sixties so he will maybe have an idea if not then charlies idea will be brought into force will try and get photos up monday as busy getting auction stuff ready for sunday    thanks dave k


  5. well there is only one pulley on the cutting deck and it goes direct to crankshaft pulley no adjusters or pulleys to go round just an oval drive


    sam when the cutting deck is raised its fine but when you lower it to cutting position its not level the cutting pulley is lower and the belt just comes off


  6. the belt is only round the cutter pulley then round the engine pulley there are no tensioners its just a large oval but the pulleys are different heights the tension is applied by engaging the cutter so when traveling the belt is slack and when in cutting mode its tightened but the height just kills it      thanks dave k


  7. hi everyone sorry to trouble you but my cutting deck pulley and engine pulley dont line up when the cutters engaged and it then chews the belt and flicks it of i cant see ant way of adjusting or levelling the pulley any body out there any ideas   many thanks  dave k
