apologies, it was an introduction that quickly turned into an Identity / Repair help thread hahaha.

Seems the sprocket is threaded on as i put the gear puller on it 2 nights ago with a bit of pressure on it and left it for a couple days, nothing came of it so ill have to try undoing it again, hopefully i loosened it....

Side note, as this frankenmower doesn't have an official Identity I made the executive decision to purchase an old Scott Bonnar 45 17" to repair as well, keep an eye out for the restoration thread smile
