Ok great thanks for the input.
The reel indeed has been spun ground, I can tell that by the feel of it and how it looks.
When i was installing the soleplate to the chassis I noted that there is bit of play/give (I'm talking only about the amount of movement the bolts can move in their holes in the chassis) before you actually tighten the bolts, I wasn't sure if this play mattered too much as i figured that after you 'lock' the bedknife in by tightening it, that you then set the reel to marry up to the bedknife, or am I mistaken, does the soleplate have to be installed 'true/square' to something via measurement.
Now I am cutting buffalo grass, so i can only assume that as its quite a broad thick leaf, i may not infact need to be running such a 'papercut' tight clearance?
Lastly, I've noted that you need about 8-12mm chain deflection on the large chain that uses the plastic tensioner to tighten, but I'm unsure of the other 2 chains and their required tension, i forgot to take note when i stripped it all down and now i think its too tight but cant be sure, all i know is it looks and feels too tight.
