Mainline Mountaineer II REV1500, parts and/or diagrams?

[aczlan]

I was given a machine that (per the stickers on it) is a Mainline Mountaineer II REV 1500. It was reportedly having clutch issues and the guy I got it from removed the transmission top cover plate/handlebars to look for the clutch.
It has an Acme 330WB engine with a rope recoil type starter.

Are any parts still available for this tractor (I need the splined coupling to connect the power head to the PTO)? Anyone know where I can find a parts diagram?

My parents had a BCS for years (I think it was a Harvester 718, it had an 8HP Kohler on it and they bought it in 1996), should the clutch in this Mainline be similar to the cone clutch that was on that machine?

I'm pretty sure Joel at this place can fix you up, he knows his stuff and can get you going.

I emailed them, they said that they only handle Acme engine parts and that I would need to contact "Mainline of North America" at 614-361-5343 as they would have what parts are available.

I pulled the engine off today and disassembled the clutch. It is not a cone clutch, it is a flat plate clutch with a double sided friction disc.
This is the rear clutch disc and its side of the friction disc:

This is the front clutch disc and its side of the friction disc:

Side of the clutch:

This is the pilot bearing and throwout bearing:

This is the clutch as it is mounted to the engine:

This is looking into the clutch when it's mounted to the engine, this is where these throw out bearing gear and pilot bearing end up:

Glad you found a contact for parts, if I remember correctly, Mainline and BCS were associated at one time, Mainline did two wheel tractors and BCS made mowers, they combined somehow. I don't remember exactly, but is some interesting history.

Owner's manuals and parts diagrams as well as replacement parts for the Mainline 1500 series tractor and the Acme engine are available by making a request for them at mainline_na@hotmail.com or calling Paul at 614-361-5343. Mainline of North America was the original BCS distributor in the U.S. and later distributed tractors made by SEP and Goldoni.

Yes, I think I talked to Paul and he sent me a exploded parts diagram.
Tiller is still sitting in the corner of the shop. Haven't had time to dig into it.
