Thanks for the kind words BB. I just can't let one of these machines go to waste if there is a chance of bringing it back to life.
Your query on the rear rollers, this was what almost scrapped this machine. The rear rollers were destroyed, 100% smooth, cracked that bad there was sections missing you could put a tennis ball through As you know, almost impossible to find and I almost conceded defeat. One day I got a call from a contact in WA that I had previously reached out to looking for the rollers and he had a gentleman turn up with a heap of lawn mower parts he wanted to sell and guess what was in the pile, a complete rear roller assemble for a 20" mower. My contact stripped the assemble and inspected it, all perfect condition. We agreed on a price and on a truck to Sydney they went. The rollers cost me more that the mower did but it saved the machine.
