Hi All,
Just a brief intro. I just picked up my first SB cylinder mower today, for the princely sum of $50. Always wanted one, and this mower looked like a good starting point. It appears to be in reasonable condition, 17 inch model, however the engine doesn't run. I don't believe it will take much to get it going. Pictures to follow.

I'm looking to fully restore it. Not new to turning spanners, as I'm a qualified aviation repair tech, just new to SB mowers.

Looks like a wonderful forum. Thanks for letting me join.

Hi Glenn,

Welcome to our wonderful lawn mowing community !

Great to have an aviation tech on board and at least you'll be able to teach us how to make our mowers fly.

I'll be looking forward to seeing the photos.

Cheers,
BB.

I live a 24 Hour lifestyle, but every now and again I seem to fall asleep, well at least that's what my wife tells me.
