Hey fellas, machine is only half assembled after full rebuild, ready for full assembly. Problem is I haven't had time to finish it off as I purchased a 24inch Scott Bonnar Supercut - 5hp Briggs with a 10 blade reel.

Because the Supercut had a 10 blade reel(better cut), much bigger catcher and a 5hp donk on board, I have put all of my time into simply getting this machine going rather then finishing the 20inch off. Getting the Supercut going was less time consuming then reassembling the 20inch - Model45.

I figured when the Supercut needs a rebuild (mabe winter) I will finish the 45 off.. Unless I have some spare time up my sleeve between now and then..

I wanted to get the lawn into shape during the optimal growing time so getting a machine going was the priority..

Will be sure to post the pics in this thread when assembled!!
