Darmic1 447 #26 Posted January 28, 2014 Managed to sneak a couple of hours in the garage today before work. Wont be able to do much more until I have the cylinder ground. Here's where I'm up to. 1 amcrules00 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Darmic1 447 #32 Posted February 5, 2014 Went to the Golf course where a friend works today, He has access to the Hunter grinders Jupiter machine. Both my good and spare reel cylinders have been spun ground and the bottom blade has been ground also. Refitted them to the mower and it cuts really well. Slicing through paper with ease, and no contact between cylinder and blade. Here's the bottom blade set correctly and turning paper into confetti. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Darmic1 447 #33 Posted February 5, 2014 Now all the parts are back I have been able to finish putting the mower back together. Here it is all finished, apart from the Decals, which Titch is busy reproducing...... I took 2 pictures, one with flash and one without. When I get a dry day, I will get it outside and fit the grass box. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Darmic1 447 #34 Posted February 6, 2014 Had a very brief break in the persistant rain today, long enough to pull the Atco out and fit the grass box. Here are a few pictures for you all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
