This was on display at fairfield machinery museum...yeah I bought it lols.
Its an original Rotomo 2 serial 70,000+ and was donated by the original owners estate.

This is an example of enhancing an original mower without full restoration so as to keep its original patina and history.

This was fully stripped,everything cleaned and repaired and missing parts replaced. Engine was stripped,honed SH piston and new rings+ new full gasket kit+ rebuilt electrics+ HT,new throttle cable and new brass wheel bushes. Enhanced all the parts to bring out the remaing colour,then fully coated the steel with penetrol to bring out lustre and stop further rust.

Note also the cigar fuel tap. While I know they were first introduced on the later Rotomo 2 Id not seen one on a tin wheel version. First original fittment of the cigar? or just replaced over time? hmmmm.

Anyways this is my prefered method for mowers that do not require full restoration.




Required parts, Badge choke assy,correct carb. sorry bout the front tyres lols was probably waiting for some when i took the pics,but it has its booties" on now








Next ill post what I do to a complete relic thats way past this condition. oh and another of my favourite unusual Rotomo relics lols.
