Thanks Darryl for your help. I just wish that the mower you had advertised was a little closer than the state of mexicana the freight is the only thing stopping me, especially this close to Chistmas. The wife would definately be saying "you and that bloody lawn mower!" So I won't push that button just yet.

I wish I had the rebuild in hand, at the moment I am still trying to find rings and seals. I also want to try to get the rubber tyre I was referring to.

I made a template of the catcher side today and my guys will be cutting them on the profile tomorrow ready for seam rolling.
