Hi Andrew, and a big warm welcome to the forum...Its great to have another cylinder/reel mower enthusiast on board.
I see you are from the Sunshine State..(I was was born and bred in Brisbane)and you have scored a mower that is capable of a fine cut, that, well maintained, will give you hours of mowing pleasure.
We are very lucky to have members that have experience on the workings of Tecumseh engines (as they were used on Scott Bonnars as well)and some other Victa Imperial members also.
Any questions or problems you may experience, Just post them in the main forum under the topic: "Reel Mowers (ATCO, Villiers, etc)and as Bruce has said, please include pics of the restoration, as all our members love to see 'em.
Once again
