you must keep that origanal ben, buy the way angus will proberly know this but the lawnbug was made with 2 differant chassis a low side and a high sided one my question is which came first and what year was the change?
Don't use stripper. Charlie it does funny things to glass and plastic I would rub it back with 200grade dry paper then finish with 400 grade wet and dry, that. Way it will be smooth but will leave a key for your paint
here is our nearly new lathe (1954) it called a little john, any info on these machines would be helpfull, i found out how to plug it in so thats a start
