Ransomes Ajax mk4 gear

Enter a word or two to search the forum section and click the Search Forum button.

Hi all.

I have bought a Ransomes  Ajax mk4, with the plans to bring it up to working order it to use for myself, I am having trouble finding a gear for it, it's the small gear that is on the blade shaft, the gear is 32mm diameter and has 16 teeth, part no. LK119.  any help or advise would be much appreciated.

Thank you

Tom

Hello

Welcome to the forum, common problem, best to find a donor mower, usually plenty available & we often find it hard to give them away,  despite a joker on ebay advertising a rough looking Mk3 for £300!!!!

Perhaps put an ad in our classified section as members may have some bits lying around.

Thank you Clive, yeah, there is another going on eBay but I might end up buying a few a with the same problem, this is something I've always fancied doing, but finding parts seem to be the biggest problem, I wonder if there is a vintage manual push mower where parts are still plentiful.

I will have ferret around in my store for you, I think I have a set of gears that were removed from a scrapped machine. 

Looking closely at your gears you would be well advised to change the intermediate gear also as it is showing wear on the gear teeth.

This thread is solved!

 I'm being sent the parts by a kind member. thank you all for looking.

While I appreciate the ` plug ` I think it's probably Ray you need to thank. However I probably have other parts available in case of need.

Best wishes,  Colin
