OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Restoring, Customising and Modifying Reel-Type Mowers Solid Deck SB 45 20"

I cleaned and polished down the handlebars. Can up fairly well, however there are some scratches.

I settled on Hammerite Dark Green. I played around with finishes and found that a foam roller gives a nice glossy hammer finish



I did some polishing of the exposed bright-work. I had a brass adjuster off another mower and decided to go with it over the cast original. Hopefully it's not too over the top.



I just gave the rear roller a quick coat or matte black. This will be used and used hard so I'm not overly worried about the rear roller.

Chassis coming together

Clutch

Cleaned and polished the cutter bearing holders

All the nuts and bolts have been cleaned and polished

I couldn't help popping the reel in to get an indication of how it will look.

There is still a bit to sort out with the mechanical's, but for now I am fairly happy so far with how it is progressing. I'll keep everyone updated
