Is this the type of clutch you have?
Wingett or thwaites dumper, repair drum clutch

[cobbadog]

Or is it hydraulically driven and new oil filters or oil needed?

What happens when drive is lost, does something appear to slip or is it instant?

Hello, I live in the Czech Republic and I bought a thwaites alligator damper. Does anyone have a schematic/parts list/manual please? Thank you

Gday and welcome to the forum janmik.
I domthave any diagrams or parts list but these machines have very basic electrics as it is usually only for the starter motor and charging system. This bei ng the case a basic charging system can be found using Google or YouTube. You possibly have an alternator which should have a built in regulator, a battery, an ignition switch and a starter motor. After that lights are also basic and easy to incorporate.
What problem/s do you have with the electrics?

Hi Cobbadog, the translator mistranslated my sentence. The electrics are ok, I have a bad clutch and brakes. I need a diagram of the spare parts so I know how it should be assembled and what is missing.

Have you taken off/removed the brake drums for a look/inspection of the brakes?

Hi mate, have a look at my thread running now, Grumpy Dumpy. I have brake issues but mine is a Liner ROughrider dumpy. The brakes on mine are Girling brake system rod operated and very simple mechanical action. Standard 10" diameter so shoes are readily available. I have a broken return spring which I should be able to get one easily. I have to replace an axle oil seal which I will buy next trip to town.
To remove my brake drums I backed the brake adjusters off then used a slide hammer to remove the drum, they were tight to remove because they locate on the centre hub and the wheels studs have a shoulder that fit to as well. Hope this helps you.
