Cheers, Fellas,

Just from the last couple of threads alone i have learnt alot!

Tezza, dead right mate. Me being a novice and all i actually believed him,, though after closer inspection i understand that the reel and bedknife have not had any attention for some time. He may well of had the reel sharpened and set though not used it for sometime as indicated by the rust. It is clear to me now that the old girl needs a clean up! Salesman are salesman I guess and he got me! But for $300 i still thought i was getting a reasonable buy..?? Granted i need to spend a few more dollars to get her to a clean cutting standard!

Cheers all..

Will update when i get things rolling..
