Hey all. Thought some of you might like to see the progress thus far on my series 5 special rebuild.
As this mower is going to be regularly used, I decided to do a 2020 style rebuild. I will be replacing all bolts/nuts/hardware with correctly sized new pieces. Experience thus far has shown me that the old bolts etc are just to fragile and brittle to handle ongoing use.
So, here is where I’m at. The machine has been stripped down, rust removed/or treated and locked down. Components repainted and top coated with a clear layer to provide additional protection. As I’m not doing a ‘restoration’ for display purposes, I’ve gone a bit slap happy with my colour scheme.
