Thanks for all the great info guys. Very helpful. Grumpy I have the missing shorting lever but it is bent. Could someone please post a close up of one so I can rebend it. I imagine it was on the garage floor and the previous owner ran it over or something. Also that is the complete engine number so I'm not sure what happened their.
Tidy mower there Michael
I have also always liked the 14 but never had one.
Now time to replace the drive clutch cable
Cheers
Mike
