So fare now made new input coupling as using the V twin engine the shaft runs inline so no need for those rubbish UJ joints by using the earlier Flexi types, the new coupling is improved and is held on with a centre set screw, also it is threaded internally so a draw bolt can be used to pull it off should need be in future.
I am about to repair the charge pump, it needs the two bearings replaced as the original UJ had started to fail and knocked these bearings out enough causing the seal to wear starting a leak, found engine gudgeon pin bushes work, Need to replace the oil filter but have lost in heaps of paper a cross reference they fitted, believe the last ones i got were used on JD units, but remember several mowers had same filter units. anyone with whats available off the shelf today.
