Atco Standard 14" Cutting Blade Sprocket
Hi,
I am in the middle of a restoration of an Atco Standard 14" Motor Mower (very exciting and my 1st old mower project).
I have dismantled most of the mower and all looks good, all quite original, but not got to the engine yet, last run in the 1970s.
However, I have noticed the sprocket on the Cutting Blade is quite worn on 50% of the teeth are very low compared to the rest.
See Picture:-
Its Part 4887 Sprocket - 10T from the Atco Parts List PDF.
I have a couple of questions if anyone can help:-
1) Does the Sprocket just pull off the hex shaft (with a bearing puller)..?
2) Does any one have a Sprocket spare or willing to sell..?
Any help would be greatly appreciated..?
Kind regards,
Ian

Hi There saw a few of these many moons ago but scrapped them,anyway
to your question the cylinder sprocket is either like suffolk 2 flat flanges
or screwed on could be left handed thread.If you look at the photo below sprocket
you will see the flat flanged section ,Hope this helps a bit.Heat it up
with a blow lamp etc to remove.

Hinchy reports that his sprocket was removed using a puller.
I used a blow torch but was unable to shift it.
Hinchy's question to me now is, "has the heat damaged it?"
Anyone care to comment?

Don't have an answer to either question but if you enter Vintage Atco into a fleabay search you will find a trader selling a few Standard parts. They may be able to assist.
