well time had come to strip her down and give her a face lift she was a bit tired few scrapes along the sides bita surface rust
got some before shots
still runs well,had this mower since it was new cost then was around $500
still has solid base with no rust .so it's worth repainting and putting new boots on all round
have to see how it turns out.
I am considering doing the same to the colt 5 before putting it back together.
