Mr Davis,
Quite a collection there! And they look great!
An update: I dismantled the radial pull starter clutch last night - full of gunk (not made better with my WD40) which I cleaned out and the starter now spins nice and freely with a delightful rattle of balls bearings running around inside.
Also took some pics which I will post tonight when I have time to work out the picture posting process (alliteration there).
Took a couple of pics of the de-rusting process as well. The plate that carries the blades has come up like new - lovely dark steel and not a speck of rust. If people don't already know about the electrolytic process, I can provide details.
I would dearly like some tips on how to safely clean the alloy bits - head and flywheel especially.
Once I can get a an hour to sit at the computer, I will start the restorationn thread - in the meantime will make every effort to post a few photos tonight.
This mower is becoming habituating!
Jeff
