i will try that, im sure its only an issue with the spring setup, im gonna get a couple of different springs and try them out as well as trying that metal wire on the different numbers to see if that will do anything, does anyone know what those numbers mean?
Another thing, ive put the rear roller back together and put everything back on the frame, Now with the engine off when i engage the clutch is the roller supposed to roll back or forward, currently it is locked so it wont roll backwards, but it engages the gears and moves the blades backwards.
I followed the images in the illustrated parts list so it look slike the 6 keys are in the right way, but im not sure, i think it may be in back to front, but it doesnt affect the running of the mower so im not gonna take it back out.
only thing left to do is to get a new fuel cap and air filter and paint the chain guard and blade guard. Im gonna leave the catcher alone for a while cos theres a heap of rust on it, and it i aint got enough paint to finish of the entire catcher, so that will be a project in itself for next copule of months.
