Hi all,
I have hit a snag in my restoration project of my Ransomes 20" Auto Certes MK2.
I am trying to remove the Extension Cylinder Spindle (MBA 4958) from the cutting cylinder however I am unsure if it is threaded or just needs tapping off?
Can anyone help?
Thanks
How do you remove the Extension Cylinder Spindle
Hi, Welcome to the Old Lawnmower Club. The Auto Certes extension spindle is I am sure screwed on to the end of the cylinder with a left handed thread. If you lock the cylinder with a piece of wood you then can either tap the the spline with a brass drift or use a chain wrench around the extension piece to slacken the thread in a clockwise direction. This is assuming that you have already removed the locking screw (also a L/H thread) and dog clutch assembly. Ray.
