hi all i have posted some pics below of my latest reco its taken appox 5 months only because i wanted it to last longer 2 pulls she started after a few revs to help the new rings in she just putted nicely all that valve work pays off . have in the past reconditioned a 45/17 over a 3 week period thats from wo to go well i have done the 45 series now 20 17 and 14 in fact i have reconditioned 5 all up 3x 45/17 im looking into converting 1 into a scarifier which would mean machining a shaft to fit into a 45 17 body and making it a dedicated scarifier and possibly an engine change. on a side note i have a scott bonnar catalogue from 1973 rrp 45/14 =$249 rrp 45/17 =$269 and the daddy of the 45 range was $299 also i didnt know but a battery operated 45/14 model was available lucas 12 volt battery sitting up on the engine deck it says the battery charger is available at an extra cost geeeez rrp was $229 kind regards steve...
