OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Restoring, Customising and Modifying Tech Talk Broken drive shaft

The following is the second half of Dave's post, with the images localised. Note that only ten images can be put in one post, which is why I've had to split it into two posts. Take it away, Dave:



Same for the Lhs and tighten grub screws through slots in mower chassis.




Reassemble hand break rhs.



Fit key in key way. Fit drive sprocket to shaft,this should tap on easily. I had to hold down on the key so it didn't pop out while fitting sprocket.Fit screw and washer to hold sprocket in place.




Loosen the two bolts on the chain adjuster and back off the adjuster that's hidden in behind the main sprocket on the axle. Fit drive chain and adjust tension on chain and tighten bolts in tensioner.



Now refit drive belt and spring on tensioner. Dropping the cutting deck down as far as it can go will make this process easier. Fit the wheels and give them a turn by hand to make sure that the belt is fitted properly. Now you can refit everything else battery,high tension leads,dash,steering wheel and so on. Gave mine a test run while it was still up on the stands.



I hope this will help some people. Any questions on anything you don't understand or i didn't cover just ask guys.................



Well done Dave.
