Behind that disc is the Vee pulley. Ive no idea what the disc is there for.
Can see the vee pulley in the pic with the engine ID sticker.
In the pic above you can just make out the belt below the pulley and see the tops of the horizontal rollers that twist the belt so it will travel to the back, up over the drive pulleys and around the idler.
That last pic was taken with the bonnet tipped as far forward as it will go. The bottom edge hits on the bracket for the front axle right on that gnarly weld.
The thing is sure gunna need a lot of love.
If i remember right the lever on the left moves the linkages, so it would be for deck belt tension/engagement. Height on the other side. Luckily all that stuff is there.
If my hunch is right i could just set it up carefully over the 28" deck and drill some holes in the deck and bolt it on. It would just be the front pulley and belt then.
Chain was rusted up, seems to be a bit freer now.
One wheel is loose on the axle, spins, not sure what is up there.
Beauty is that its a little bit agricultural in construction. Making/remaking bits wont be hard and they wont look out of place.
Only hard bits are the alloy parts, rims, steering wheel, seat basin and the steering gears and arm. Got most.
In theory if i can free up that pedal it will move under its own steam. Well gasoline, its not quite that old.
Im not sure where it would fit with the 5 and 8HP seeing as its 6.8HP.
Ive seen pics of one with a G200, i think they were rated at 5HP. Or 4 point something.
There is one similar on eBay in QLD, even has the G65. Bonnet is a bit different. I did message seller requesting pics but no joy so far.
