OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Restoring, Customising and Modifying Reel-Type Mowers MODEL 45 - 17 & 20 rebuilds

Hi Jim13,
Sorry to say I decided against fitting the 6.5 engine as I felt I may have been to much weight. The mower runs perfectly on 3.5hp and 5hp would kill it stone dead. The 6.5 hp may be more suited to a solid deck or a larger mower. Back to the paint! Protec advise the Hammertone 311 is no longer available so now its a hammerfin product. Have had a 500ml mixed and matched to the previous colour. It came out marginally darker but is close and is a much thicker product. Attached is the formula for 500ml. First item listed is the clear base followed by the tints.
