Thanks, speedy!
Those will be of some assistance.

When I get a chance, I'll see what I can figure out as regards the high speed turning. If it's a conrod, I'll likely junk the whole thing. It has had several mods to the deck due to being run into stumps hidden in the grass which caused the skirt to impact the blades with resultant VERY loud noises! +1 was far from impressed when she tried to start it after one such encounter! Adjusted with angle grinder = no more noises.

Anyhow, markets tomorrow, and a very early start to the day and lots of standing around waiting for someone to want to spend.
