Well that settles it Steve, that hammertone green that you have discovered and lack of the ID plate confirms that it is a Scott Bonnar and is a late one at that....One of our members deviosi has had a lot to do with 20" Scotties and can answer questions on the rear roller set-up.
I have a funny feeling that I read one of his posts that said late model 20" Scotties had a 2 piece roller... you may like to check his profile and send him an e-mail or PM, I'm sure he will advise you.
Re: the 6 blade reel...maybe that was an option at purchase....but I know they were standard with 8 blades....orange painted reel.
That motor or at least the cowling I would say is bogus as well....Rover had taken over by 1981.
What is actually is, is now a mystery.All is not lost....you've now got a genuine late model Scotty 45.
Depending on how far you wish to go with the restore....a new Honda engine...or second hand goodie, might be the way to go.
Has it got its catcher?
