I came across this mower when I moved into my new house before Christmas. Now, it's time to get out an have a good look at my garden, I thought I should have a look at seeing if I can get it working. I have my own mower to cut to the lawn, but always wanted to have a go at a cylinder mower. The lid was not fitted and after having a look ,it seems like something is not right. There is an odd feel to the tension on the pulleys and they seem to be fitted incorrectly. Also, there is a spring in the centre with one end attached, but the other just hanging. I can't see where it could possibly attach. Could any folk who know their way around a mower have a look at this picture and give me a few tips? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
