Ahh I see yeah it looked as though it was pretty fresh!
Yeah I think with the was to remove the reel a yearly/2 yearly depending on use as long as it is kept well adjusted should be fine.
Yes I wouldn’t powder coat that was off a mower I bought that had been 50% restored. The fella sold his house the day after listing and needed to sell ASAP!!
I would normally paint with epoxy enamel as it is easy enough to retouch if needs be and not chip or eventually flake and rust like powder coat!
I should have looked around a bit but Brett did a pretty decent job with my first 2 costing around 175 a piece for blast, prime and paint.
But yes it feels like dead money as the last mower I done for a friends father in-law on a budget so rubbed stripped and sanded myself and that got me thinking about the small blast cabinet!
