Hi Craig,
You have been given good advice by grumpy and Bruce, however if you intend restoring the machine, sharpening the reel and bottom- blade (complete with it's holder),I would recommend, be taken to the engineer during the resto process, so as when the frame (chassis) is complete, the reel assembly will be ready to re-install. wink
