Lauber1 51 #59 Posted February 16, 2014 Sir you are by far the most complete start to finish restorer I've ever seen. Not only is there a smashing type of every model, but you deliver the whole package with interesting signage and other bits, for appeal to the masses. Your work should be on one of those BBC documentary we get once in a while over here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pmackellow 2,738 #70 Posted February 18, 2014 Top edge of deflector plate painted this evening and two wheels back on the mower deck, I can't refit the others until the deflector plate is ready to go back on as the same bolts that are used for the wheels also attach the deflector plate to the mower... 1 Lauber1 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pmackellow 2,738 #71 Posted February 19, 2014 I was looking at the mower deck this evening and pondering how to pick out the warning notice lettering... I then had a lightbulb moment and checking that my angle grinder had a well worn disc in it I EVER so gently tickled the paint off the tops of the letters... don't think it came up too bad... Still waiting for one or two bits of paint to dry and then the other pair of wheels and the deflector plate can go back on, hopefully tomorrow... 2 TITCH and Lauber1 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
