Hi there guys,

After having recently purchased yet another scotty, I have been inpsired by Deejay and have decided on restoring the old girl. I purchased it for $350 off a guy on ebay and it presented well... After a hunt around for original paint codes... I have decided to go for a green hammertone colour.... which is quite close to the original paint colour.... I have departed from original in relation to the stickers... i am hopefully going to get some stickers made up.... The engine is in great nick and requires no work.....

I have two questions though.....
1) On the front of the handle/handlebars, there is a green plate... it looked like there was some kind of sticker/painted emblem... anyone have any pictures of these? or could point me in the right direction???

2)Where the horizontal shaft enters the engine, my scotty has developed a small oil leak... very small... just leaves a damp spot which the grass sticks too.... it appears that the seal around the shaft may have let go... anyone got any info on replacement of this seal?? i.e. part numbers.... level of difficulty....

I have included some 'before' pictures.....
