Hi Dave - I'll take a look at that and I'll get you some close up pics. This will have to be next weekend however, as I am away on business at the moment. I'll clean it up first so you can see more than dust. I forgot to mention that the ram retracts quicker than on the cutting stroke.
I've no real idea why the lawnmower wheel is there. However, as this has no clutch and with the belt guards on, this wheel would allow you to manually set the ram position. The large pulley that is driven by the motor has a notch in the hub for a crank handle but this appears to have been lost at some point. I'm guessing this was easier than making a new crank.
