How to Choose a Socket for Rachet?

[phatboy]

8'x4'x18mm plaster board anyone? (ok, I know it's really 2400x1200x18mm) but it amuses me in a childish way.

Same reason chucks are often 13mm. As it rounded up 0.5"

UK and metric is odd. I use solely metric for measuring most things. Apart from miles, speed, height and weight and alcoholic drinks, unless it's spirits when it's back to metric.

Better a pint than half a litre!

Can you post a picture of the cog and said nut on the machine, not too close in

This is the cog still attached to the scarifier and the broken cog from the blades.

Is the spare cog available?

Way out of my league! I don't recognise that machine, but Suffolk use plastic gears which are similar.

I don't have a spare and haven't been able to find one online yet. I'm shielding so can't go into a shop. The idea was to transfer the scarifier's cog over to the blades for the time being.

Ah, I see what you are doing now.
I've never heard of an SPP175.....can you give us more details to see if we can help?

There are people who could use the old plastic one to cast new in Aluminium.

Surely a thin nosed adjustable would deal with that.

Not in a month of Sundays Im afraid, well not in my experience anyway.

You dont look far out with that John https://www.allmowerparts.co.uk/atc...MI8ZXFwrmk6gIVQeztCh1lhAghEAQYDCABEgIyO_D_BwE

I would be useful to have the model or pic of the machine

We have differing experience.

If your doing vitual spanner courses, sign me up woody!

I'll see what I can do.

But my experience is often based on pure desperation. If I don't have the right tool, I'll make one that I do have fit - usually the brummie universal spanner.

I thought I'd clocked that part somewhere - you never know, the OP may get lucky.
Personally, I'd shock that nut off - the chances of twisting the tine shaft has to be pretty high if it hasn't been shifted for years.
