Thanks for the replies everyone, certainly makes me feel warmly welcomed
.
I've been keeping my eye out for a 45 for a while, and intention is to refurbish it for myself.
Being in Tassie, they're far and few between.
I was really just chasing a decent frame, so I feel I was pretty lucky. I paid $100 as it sits in the photos.
Someone has definitely attempted a repaint at some point, which shouldn't matter as it will be back to bare metal shortly and repainted accordingly.
With any of my projects, I get carried away and struggle to stick within a budget
, so i'll probably just call it now and say 'It'll cost what it costs and take as long as it takes to complete it'.
Early days yet, but i can see myself putting a B&S 550 on it, and completely replacing the reel and bed knife. I'd love people suggestions on the preferred engine replacement for these machines.
Cheers,
Thursty.
