Hi all,
I thought i'd post an update of how the SB45 restoration is going, since I last posted.
It hasn't progressed a great deal unfortunately due to work commitments, however I have got the blade reel back from having the blade straightened.
Now the reel, frame and other bits will go off next week to get sandblasted, before painting.
I've been having a read on this forum about the best hammer tone paint colour to replicate the original Scott Bonnar green. Galmet Jade Green was suggested. Are there any others?
Also, the disassembly of the mower has gone well to date with the exception of the rear rollers. I was hoping to disassemble the rear rollers completely to enable me to sandblast them and then re-paint, however I have been unable to remove the internal wheel/hub from each roller. There is rust inside the rollers which may be a reason for this, if they are even able to be removed. I will post some photos tomorrow of what I mean as they will provide a much better explanation than my words.
Thanks again for everyone's help.
