Well.... Those are not exactly stump jumpers .... 1st off there would be no exsposed bolts .... (One sunk gear box main shaft bolt for each disk/gear box) And ONLY two blades on each disk ... And the disks are usually made of 1/4 -1/2 inch thick steel ... And most heavy models are a 1000 rpm pto, not 540.

I'm kind of partial to Kano .... It's made here in Tennessee ... And i use it very sparingly ...and man yeah.... Kano is expensive !!

They always stop making the good heavy built stuff ... Lol

Yes ^^^ Is the donor engine clock wise rotation ?? I probably would just use 4 blades for now ... Then later on when you get more familiar .. Update to eight .. And do a test run ?? See... Your only cutting with a very small length of blade .... Which would require less power then a standard full length blade ... So..... 8 blades .. And the speed you'll be pulling this plays a big part ... I hope to see this deck in action soon !!

Never heard of sea foam deep creep around here.. I'll defiantly check on that one.

Now..... Looking at this timing belt drive again.... I say there is no tensioner..... And yes those small bearings at each sides of both sprockets keep the timing in check .... I can't really make out if There's any adjust on that center belt guide

Kano kroil all the way! Funny thing is ... It smells like Lysol ...

Oh i see what your talking about here ... My guess would be to help keep the belt from jumping time ??

Glad to help! That deck right there has my attention ... Lol .. Just wish i knew more about those .... This is a great thread! heres a 42 inch timing belt https://www.ebay.com/itm/COUNTAX-WESTWOOD-BLADE-TIMING-BELT-CONTRA-CUT-DECK-42-22807800-2660-NEXT-DAY/172746193800?hash=item283879bb88:g:HZgAAOxy-j9SRtYj you might also try here .. > https://www.gardentractorspares.co.uk/help/westwood/step3 And yes those gear sprockets ... Are made like that to keep the belt from walking off.

I did some digging , and located that timing belt no luck on finding a manual just yet .. Actually 2 also located some blades ... But not for 36 inch deck .... These blades kind of remind of disk mower blades... Altho disk mower blades are much shorter, and have more of a twisted angle ... https://www.ebay.com/itm/COUNTAX-WESTWOOD-BLADE-TIMING-BELT-CONTRA-CUT-DECK-36-22807600-2659-MOWER/201163961116?hash=item2ed64e731c:g:vo0AAMXQyfFR~jGg https://www.ebay.com/itm/42-Contra-Cut-Blade-Set-Fits-WESTWOOD-RIDE-ON-3770-3771-16806901-16806902/390570752164?epid=1358514774&hash=item5aefd4b8a4:g:As8AAOSwEeFVAaSP

Those drums ... (Or what you call drums) are what we call stump jumpers .... Al tho ... I've never seen those on a small deck like that, looks like you can add 4 more blades ... And with high lift (angled) blades the vacum should make the grass stand up good ... That's the reason for those gear sprockets (timing the blades so they will not strike each other) .... I'm curious as to the rated rpm ...

Haha! I new it was a test ... Lol but you know some newbie would think okay how can this be wrong And doesn't look at the honda bible ... Or filter cap... Then BAM! ... That's all she wrote...

They sure did go to work on that foam filter ... Just one question where's the metal filter cage, and bracket ? Number 12 , and 20 in this pic

It's clearly stamped wrong ... Most likely a cheepo filter ??

Lol! Mac .... Aren't you a hoarder of hondline parts ??

Hola, welcome to ATVH

Hey loosemarbles !! Good to see you! Welcome, aboard !!

Welcome to ATVH!

This is why i stay way clear of oil threads .... Shade put it best .... Wet clutch approved .. Simple and to the point .... Lets see now.... How many Hondas has he rebuilt from the ground up ??

GN4 here to. I usually stay way clear of tire and oils threads ....

We've talked about meet, and greet for a while (a couple years now) but with what's going with this covid-19 going around ..... I think it's best we Waite and see on this .... At least , For a while .... Many here have had there lives changed, from being forced to adjust, to work from home, others getting prepared/prepped, and those of us who are worried about sick family members .....and alarge crowd gathering is just not a good idea at this point in time, but thank you for bringing this up..... It's still a future plan.

Thank you goober!

Good looking old school tank.... I noticed. You have another one over to the right ... Any details on it ? Also noticed the steering stem light and sub light stone guards ....nice! , and this clamp mount on the the handle bar is not a honda part.... And those side covers .... That's a lot of money right there.

Yeah that's her lol! I used to like some of her songs till that BS started .... What a super size knot head!!

According to Crow's new strictures, the average person should use "only one square per restroom visit, except, of course, on those pesky occasions where two to three could be required". Further details were not offered as to the precise nature of these "pesky occasions", though "we are an industrious enough people that we can make it work", she insists. I think THAT ^^^ could be what caused California's side walks to be used as toilets....
