OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Restoring, Customising and Modifying Reel-Type Mowers Scott Bonnar 45 17" Resto

Haven't had a huge ammount of time to dedicate to my restos, but I thought I would share a couple of progress pics the 17". We're doing renos as home so we are staying at the in-laws. I bought this with me to work on as an escape!

I have sourced a new front roller for this, and my 20". I would be interesting in hearing people opinions on it. It's a 60mm OD (so 10mm smaller which means 5mm loss in height adjustment), zinc coated, shielded roller bearing housing, with an 8mm female threaded spindle. Just needs a 5/8" to 8mm bush one end and a 3/8" to 8mm bush on other. No more flogged out shafts or replacing end-caps. Cost, $33.47 + fixings








Still needs detail work done and a new muffler. Has come up better than I expected
