  • I have "built" my RF!
    Shell needs cutting and painting, but the rest is running.

    Did a spin around the garden, and it stopped moving. Seems the little grub screw holding the pinion gear wasn't tight enough.
    Already rebuilding, reckon there will be loads more of that!

    One thing I did notice is that it's reluctant to go in reverse. From rev to fwd is fine, but if I hit rev from fwd nothing happens, any ideas?

    Classic :)

    Probably just activating the brake. From forward hit reverse, which brakes, then go back to neutral then reverse again in quick succession to quickly get it in to reverse. Probably won’t do the gearbox much good though :)
