Thanks for your comments, Jack. I spent some time up in the shed today, pondering my next move and spreading even more RP7 around. The last few bolts & nuts are quite stubborn. Is there any particular engineering place (in South Aus) to entrust the bedknife and reel to? Or should I send it interstate? Any ideas? The drum, by the way, appears to be quite free & undamaged so hopefully will present few problems this coming weekend.
