That is one Awesome relic! Love it...
The wheels on both yours are/were original lols (the metal ones) Impressive repairs, talk abot getting the most out of them!
The pale traces you found should have been Yellow...Same colour as your base:)
My meaning with the wheels was, were did you get them? Ive only seen them in red and they suit these mowers.
Both your vamps must be very early since they have the metal wheels.
My vamp has metal also, and the wheels on my 70 are original to, just the next generation had plastic.
I nearly bought a minter in similar cond to your relic, but something happened to the sale and it dissapeared 30 mins before Auctions end.
