Hi Nicholas,
Glad to see the progress is continuing nicely.
I note that the paint is South Australian "Protec" brand ? Did you use the standard off the shelf colour "Olive Green" or was it custom mixed using a sample from your mower which Protec will do ?
Glad to see you painted the reel and not powder coat it. Who did the reel grind ?
Lots of questions I know but that's the sort of information that new members look for, much like you did I guess. It's all about the journey AND the destination here on ODK.
BTW the green looks ok IMHO, also have you received the new sloper Briggs engine ?
Cheers,
BB.
