The blades were quite badly chipped and rusted. I ground the cutting blades back to good metal and then chamfered a new cutting edge. Not sure if there is a supplier of replacement blades for this machine? I think they are very similar to those fitted Allen Scythes etc...... will need to measure them, the hole spacing and do some research! Once rust free I did skim a small amount of filler onto the blades, just to fill some of the pitting. Once sanded, primed, painted and dry, I refitted them to the freshly painted disc. I was then finally able to finish reassembling the mower attachment....... (Apologies for the pictures being sideways...... seems a bit random as the 2nd one is the right way but the 3rd, despite many efforts is annoyingly sideways!)
Sure I have a box of misc knife sections Darren. But where???? Will have a hunt as sure I did not weigh them in??
