Mick, Many thanks for the welcome and the info, that makes sense to me. I'll give it a go tomorrow and see how I go.

Hi Kevin, and welcome to TGMForum.

You'll notice that the panel at the front of the machine that folds down over the front axle beam.  That panel is bolted across the top of the chassis.  To get the axle beam out of the pivot this panel needs to be either removed, or at least the top bolts loosened sufficiently to hinge the panel forward enough to slide the beam out sideways. 

Hi, I have a Countax C600H tractor mower. Due to a few hard knocks with earth mounds, I have bent the axle beam out of true, causing steering problems. Is there an easy way to remove it? The YouTube offerings aren't much help and Google makes it sound like a simple job but I'm struggling to get it out of the central pivot.
Many thanks for and ideas.
Kevin

  cheers mick

Hi.  I wouldn't get too worried about how much of the Ferrule is showing.  As long as the cable is adjusted so the choke is working properly, and the cable is stable and tight in the clamp then you're set to go.

aup how much of the brass should be showing please. thanks

Ha.....well my friend cleaned the mower with some sort of de-greaser and I think soaked the heat shields with it....took the exhaust of and the shields and used a blow torch to heat up and burn off any contanants..wow smoked well.....all back together and working like a mower...cheers for the help again

It's worth a try, and if it doesn't clear then we'll have to look into it further. At least if you clean it up you should be able to spot anything leaking onto the exhaust. 

Fingers crossed.

The only thing behind the silencer is the valve cover / breather assy.  All I can suggest is give it all a good clean down and run it as long as you can to see if the smoke clears up. It takes quite a while to burn off any excess oil in and around the exhaust.
