Hi, I picked up a cheap SB45 about a year ago, and I'm looking at a basic mechanical restoration to get it running and cutting well.
My father in law is a retired mechanic and has good fitting/machining skills, and also likes a project. I'm hoping to get him on board to help with any engine issues. The motor runs ok, starts reasonably easily.
The front roller shaft is very worn, does it need replacing? How do I go about replacing roller end caps?
I'm getting the cylinder sharpened and adjusted as a start.
Even with a blunt blade and dodgy front roller it does a better job than my rotary, so I'm looking forward to great results when it's running optimally.
I've taken some photos but struggling to attach them!
