another little purchase..

Recommended Posts

Managed to sort the gear crunching.... the foot pedal wasn't engaging quite enough. 

The transmission whine... will that kind off is what it is.. anyone to stop it? 

 

Silly question I expect.... where is the clutch? And easiest way to check

Drain the transmission and give it a clean and refill with new oil. Apparently a certain amount of whining is the norm. Use API GL1 oil for the tranny due to the yellow metals in the transmission.

Owner contacted me today... he has found some paper work for the bolens and is sending it down. I think it's just a manual as he said he had a friend in America who sent him one across but who know what goodies may turn up

Little bit smokey at times, but I can investigate that. 

Yes he loves it and it doesn't bother him in the slightest. 

Looking forward to sorting the wheels Wednesday and then showing Saturday.  Decided on the fordingbridge summer festival. A bit more relaxed with the new baby and only 5 mins away.

Matt, that's just great having the background info and the manuals. I just dig that kind of info. It's all part of the history of the 853. Have you told the previous seller you got it up and running?
