Thanks heaps for the pics, thats what i thought was missing, well something like that.
I would say its meant to be rubber.
Just need to work out where to get one, if not im sure I could make something up.
Im just pretty impressed with the condition its in.
I dont imagine it would be very old, but it is pretty clean.
Need to work on getting it under cover.
I thought collecting rotary mowers took up some space, have a new appreciation for the dedication and room reel mowers take.
