The mower is a 20" and the motor has orange paint under the black.

What you are saying is that the 3.0HP never came from the factory in orange so this must then be a 2 or 2.5HP motor, is that correct?

That being the case and because it is a 20" mower then I guess my best option is to source another motor. What are the general opinions in this regard? ie. new or secondhand, what brand and power output?

I hope to remove the motor this weekend and will post photos of the clutch assembly and drive shaft when it is removed.

Jarrad, I live in Byford (Just south of Armadale). I will keep High Wycombe in mind when I am searching for parts.
