Hmm intersting.

Whats the motor, looks like its smaller than a G400, is it a GX of some sort??



Looks like a mini tractor 8 or tractor 12 front on the bonnet.



Clutch looks like the same as what should be on mine.



If you get a chance could you wash off the top of the deck and snap some pics. I would think that its similar to the vertical shaft jobs.

The motor is a Honda GX240 8.5hp. And i will clean that deck....Eventually LOL...Mini Tractor 8? I am wondering if you could measure the the wheelbase of your HD8 Tractor, because the chassis seems very similar to yours.

Thanks.
Im in no hurry.


Mini tractor 8. was a short thing, only a narrow cut, 28", had an 8Hp motor mounted sideway, steep sloped bonnet.


Is mine a HD8??

I could have a measure for ya. Im tipping yours is wider and longer.

Rodeobob, I know it's a long shot that you see tbis post, I don't know how else to make contact. I also have a HD8 with a horizontal honda. Do you still have any parts, namely the drive belt adjuster with tbe spring? Phillip

Phillip, you will find Bob's phone number and location in his profile. Also if you look up lawnmowers on Gumtree you will find his advertisements, location and phone number. If you need more information please send me a Private Message and we can discuss it. Bob hasn't been on Outdoorking much lately, and seldom reads his Private Messages, so I doubt you could contact him that way.

G'day Superdooper,

Note this an old thread that I deliberately reopened as it's the machine (Frankengreenie) that I was discussing with Gadge in another thread (which I have also reopened).

The three threads makes it a bit confusing but read through and all will become clear.

I'm sorry Jack and other mods. I know this is a ham fisted way of doing things.
