Thanks, BB.
I have to confess that I'm hopeless at most things, I just have a few talented friends.
I'm concerned that the drive gears are in similar condition to the bed knife and was wondering if anyone has experience in obtaining gears through such people as Renolds here in Adelaide?
I hope to take plate and knife over to Pooraka this week but work is overloaded at the moment. I'll post as soon as I get that job completed.
Meanwhile, in an attempt to be extremely careful with everything, I've misplaced the gear stick holder that bolts to the handle. Placed it somewhere to get brazed as it was broken and now the Bl%/?*y fairies have been in and taken it. Wasted a whole day yesterday looking for one small brass piece. Sheds a lot tidier though.
