Should work well! my lawn ranger hood is rusted in the same places, not as bad but will have to sort it out some time!

I think  it’s the strengthening piece of trim they  put along the edge, it’s upside down and it’s a water trap.

They all seem  to rust in the same place.

My thoughts as well.  Would be less of a trap with the edge turned inwards.

Got some shed time working on the red bonnet, I finished sanding off the last of the red paint and my son came down with the mig welder and offered to weld it up for me.

I went off to make the tea while he welded it up.

All done and I started grinding it up but its not finished yet, I don’t want to cock it up so I’ll wait for him to come back tomorrow but I’m well pleased with the progress.

Bonnet No2 gave me some grief as the blue paint wouldn’t move with paint stripper so i had to use a hot air gun and scraper and finally going over with a drill and sanding pad.

This afternoon Steve came down and got the new tin all cut and clamped  ready for welding. Looking good.

Got a few bits done today, first was the lift handles, stripped and cleaned then 4 rear hubs and a few pulleys.

The fuel tanks were in poor condition inside and a bit of head scratching.Plan. A  acitone and pebbles and do the okey coney round the garden with one in  each hand, plan B tie them to the rear wheels of a Wheelhorse and do donuts round the garden, and plan C Pams tumble dryer, then. I had a better idea, a cement mixer, strap them in and drink tea for an hour.
