Since it is raining here in Brisbane I will clean up the reel and sole plate and take them to my local mower repair man for advice on getting them sharpened. I won't worry about painting them for now.

Some more pics.

I don't see a problem with these sprockets.

Reel removed and the sole plate was next which I found surprisingly heavy. These mowers were very well built.

The chain also appears in good order.

Reel Mowers do it better.
