hi there are a lot of washers and sliders involved sounds to me like one mis aligned at the gearbox end maybe the big one is the culprit
You've probably omitted one or all the sliders....... they sit between the blades in the blade clamping bolts........... heres the parts diagrams so you can see whats missing https://www.m-jardin.fr/wp-content/plugins/pdf/web/viewer.php?file=... I'd tighten the bolts up one by one and run the machine............ you'll quickly find which bolt/spacers are causing the problem
the old HS80 bolts were soft metal and when you tightened them, they crimped slightly so they stayed put, but if you removed them then put them back they never stayed tight. Also the nuts had some paint on which helped them stick - try a dab of nail varnish on each and let it dry before re-assembling - stops them vibrating loose
All good advice, thanks guys. Looks like a job for the bank holiday! I'll strip it down again and follow the diagram to see if I've missed something. Thanks again all.
