Dave, naming recommended suppliers in a thread is a sort of borderline subject. It is best to do it in a Private Message to the person who asked, but if several people ask, it is OK in a thread. We may find a better formula than that - there are certainly people who want to know, but there are also people who don't want to be bombarded with supplier names in threads.
Miguel, thank you for the pictures - that will get Deejay away to a good start. Those sprockets do not seem to have had a great deal of wear - the chains should be cleaned and lubricated though, there is gritty residue around where the links overlap, which means there will also be grit around the pivot pins and that is a bad thing to have. I'm not clear on whether early SB45s normally have that idler to tension the primary chain - later ones have a nylon rubbing block to do the same job. I also thought the long brass nut that adjusts mowing height was usually unpainted, but I'm probably wrong.
None of my business, but do you use Havier as a last name because Australians always pronounce Javier incorrectly?
