HERE WE GO PUTTING IT BACK TOGETHER;...................

Cleaned up new shaft and got rid of any dags. Made sure all the parts had free movement.
Tried fitting all clutch parts to the shaft and had a go at squeezing it in to the mower , but no joy.




So disassembled everything but left the clutch bearing on the shaft an fitted it in to the mower.




Push the shaft all the way to the rhs and lift the lhs out of the mower and fit clutch plate,spring, washer,shim and Drive Pulley.



Slid the shaft back in to the mower and push it all the way to the left and the rhs of the shaft up and out of the mower. Same as lhs fit the clutch,spring,washer and shim. The drive pulley will take some care to fit so you don't damage the clutch cork. Slide shaft back in to position. To make a little extra room I removed the spring bracket on the Notch Bar.Make sure the adjuster on the Notch bar is all the way forward.




Replace clutch fork on to the transfer link before doing anything else due to the lack of room. Tighten the bolts in the transfer link.





Fit nuts Left and Right side of clutch. This is where an extra pair of hands is handy so you can push tension on Drive Pulley to expose the thread on ether side to fit nuts.



Fitted Rhs bearing and Fangette Plates. Fit set screew and washer on the out side of the shaft.
