Wheels ready to be cleaned up. Which will be fun. Brake plates etc finished.

The engine certainly looks a lot better without the half done spray paint finish. I'm looking forward to seeing the finished saw. David

Hi all, Hope everyone is well. Haven't posted on here in a long while as work is incredibly busy but try to pop on for a browse now and then. Just thought I'd share my latest purchase as it's pretty special (in my opinon!!) and I have been after one for years. Just the one picture for now, more to follow. Curious to know how many of these exist in the UK? Tom

After hours of tedious clean up with dental tools the engine is finally free of green paint and I completely went through everything. I’m working on prepping all the body work now. I wasn’t expecting this to turn into a complete re-do but o’well, it should look nice all said and done.

Thanks for all the opinions, I’ve decided to go with the lime green. PMackellow, thank you for the RAL number that’ll come in handy. I have a can of Kawasaki KX dirt bike frame paint from the mid-1990s on the way. If it’s not a close enough match I’ll look at the Lawnboy color - I didn’t even think to look at that when I started hunting.

Been at my mate Dunc's over in Scotland today. Lending a hand to build his carport and workshop. This is the carport. Room for two cars and will have store room/workshop at the far end. This will be his workshop and garage for his tractors, digger etc. This is a rather steep decent down to the main workshop. This is the result of a tractor and loaded trailer, running away from the top of that slope, when the handbrake failed. There was no brush at the corner at the time and tractor and trailer came straight down. It stopped when it hit the digger's bucket which was parked at the bottom. Digger ended up leaning against a tree and only suffered broken widows in the cab door.. Tractor didn't fare so well.
