OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Restoring, Customising and Modifying Reel-Type Mowers SB 20" twin rail to single rail conversion.

Well, it's been a while coming but I finally found the time to bring this 20" back to life. New rails, reinforced with a 5mm plate under each rail, full width of the rail. 5mm plate also serves as the retainer for the engine mounting bolts. Had to remake the pad that the clutch lever mount sits on as well. Before and after pics below.

Almost forgot the clutch cable support bracket!! Not happy with the cosmetic appearance of the welds under the rails, I was using a gas-less mig for the first time which was surprisingly different in feel and technique to a gas flux setup. By the time I was finished the weld appearance had improved greatly.
