Hi Guys
Just an update to anyone who cares or following after, put the mower back together a couple of weekends ago, in the exact reverse order that it was disassembled. Replaced the thrust pad, engine side clutch half, thrust bearing and clutch cork(glued using kwik grip gel and method from this thread
https://www.outdoorking-forum.com.au/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=51311).
Also FYI used the same motor and shaft but left the engine side clutch housing approximately 8mm off from the engine side as didn't want to bite back down on the scored/channeled area of the shaft. Adjusted my clutch lever bolt on the fork accordingly and looks good (I set the fork to vertical on engage as read this was the correct position from somewhere else).
Have used it a couple of times now and haven't had any issues. Clutch spins without play and is nice and solid, no movement like previously.
Wanted to shout out to BB for all the help, as well as to all the other threads and people who contribute to these forums.
Cheers!
