Thank's Mal but I'm still an apprentice from what guys like you and alwil can do restoring a machine I look on in awe... With this old Pope I'm working on who knew there was such a proud old Aussie mower under all the years of crap it's awesome!.. On a side note this old Pope is on the bay and has the shark teeth look going on, and looks from the factory to me did the one you have look anything like it maybe not a home done job?.. Cheers here is a pic.. [Linked Image]
