[QUOTE="alchemysa, post: 94960, member: 13436"] reed2022. Thanks for that, I have emailed him with an offer for the complete rear sheave assembly, or just the roto swivel if removing the sheave proves too hard. (But if its just the roto swivel I would need to know its the type that fits my sheave). Shipping to me may not be too hard. I have a friend in North Carolina who would send the thing to me. All the supplier needs to do is put it in a box and post it to him, at my expense of course. 6brnorma. I appreciate your comments. I will be calling a local Bobcat parts dealer during the week to see whats available over here, and how much. A couple more questions.... Firstly, the fixed sheave is still attached to the engine at the moment. I notice that I can spin the sheave and the engine crankshaft pretty easily in either direction with little compression resistance. Is this normal for these engines or does it indicate that I have very, very tired engine? Secondly, if it gets too hard to fix this economically, whats the negatives with resorting to the 'fixed speed' option that is already a 'special feature' of this machine. Lets say I fix it at half speed. Would I suffer much in terms of usability when used on a small property, doing relatively light work? I assume the term 'variable speed' is somewhat simplistic. The variable sheave would also change the power available, for pushing into dirt for example. At 'half speed' will it have sufficient power for those tasks or is low speed always required for that? I have no experience driving one of these things so I don't know what speed is most commonly used. Any comments? [/QUOTE]
