Thanks for allowing me access to your excellent forum.
I am the owner of the attached Scott Bonnar 17 inch Model 45 - but only just... I've owned it for precisely 1 week now.
Jumping in at the deep end with this baby, I'v never used a roller mower before, let alone owned one.
I am considering a full restore from the ground up, as I have learned that parts are still freely available for the 45.
I am not a mechanic but I do have an interest in mechanical things, so a restoration project like this will be a challenge but I am keen to learn and looking forward to getting stuck in.
I do hope to share discussions with like minded SB owners who have been through the same process. Hopefully there are a few of you out there...
