    New (to me) Manco 415 - Gearing and general maintenance questions

    That makes sense. I couldn't figure out how it worked based on the diagrams. The biggest questions remaining are 1) what is the biggest sprocket I can fit with 4.10-5NHS tires and 2) how wide of a tire can I fit if I swap rims? I'd like 13x6x6 turfs if they fit...especially if they can support...

    I could probably just rig up a hook that holds the brake pedal down. It wouldn't be the easiest to engage since you would have to press the pedal and swing the hook onto it, but it would be better than nothing.

    Sprocket stuck on axle (again)

    I haven't had a chance to take pics of my own yet, but attached are the sellers pics. Luckily no scrub brakes and the drum seems to be working well. I didn't see a parking brake last night but I wasn't looking for one. I will check when I get home. The steering was very twitchy but I assumed...

    New (to me) Manco 415 - Gearing and general maintenance questions

    I picked up an old Manco 415-201 off of Facebook classifieds. It looks pretty good and runs and drives - a steal at $100. It has a 5 hp Briggs (Model 135232 0134 01) and is the dual seat model. The clutch would catch and stall the engine after about 30 seconds of idling but that seems to...
