Hi BB and ODK members,

I hope the PM might help you with the parts you may require to complete the restoration.

Thanks for the pic with the crank handle in position, that is correct...and how you start the machine....you just turn on the fuel, disengage the cutter and drive clutches, set the choke and wind the crank handle...no rope, no fuss...easy-peasy! lol
The handle when not in use, slipped into a receptacle at the base of the right hand handle bar. wink

The colour scheme in the pic is correct in regard to the catcher internals when the machine was introduced in 1950...it was red, as was the upper lip of the grass deflector.
The decal was the Scott Bonnar 'Aussie Flag' type which was current at the time....The chain-case alloy was polished and the rear roller was finished in silver.
The chain-case attachment hand-screws were always painted green.
As requested, here is a larger pic...
