OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums General Discussion Forum OutdoorKing Showcase sheerline resto

thanks to Perry for the motivation after seeing his sheerline restoration.
the motor has been rebuilt,the chassis is in primer waiting to be painted

Keep up the good work.I wished my Sheerline was at that point.I can't find a cowl for it.Keep the pictures coming as well.

sorry ,i don't have any more cowlings,gave my spare to Perry,i will keep an eye out for you

Thanks stevej I didn't know how hard they were to find when I purchased my Sheerline.If you do come across one please let me know.I can't start the restore until I have that. That and the handle bar badge.I just a week ago got the the front and rear flaps for it.So with the cowl it would be on it's way.Thank's stevej

Is it possible to do it up as the other type of sheerline while you wait to find a cowl, or are there differences other than the cowl?

Yes I could use a Utility cowl on it.As there two models of Sheerline's.Model 6 and a Model 9.The Model 6 has the cowl as above,where as the Model 9 had a cowl like the Utility Model 509 I believe was the first to have the same cowl.1963-64.Simialar to the picture.



This one I believe is the Model 510 Utility from 1964-65,but it still has the same cowl.(Can somebody tell me how to make the picture work under these other parts of the forum)?

The pictures just wont as far as i can tell, but if you copy the link that is now visible in your post (start at http, end at .jpg) and add it as a link it should be more usefull

Here are the ones from your post:
-Picture 1
-Picture 2
-Picture 3
-Picture 4

So if you wanted to start restorations on a sheerline 6, but you didnt have the cowl yet, you could restore it with a utility cowl to look like a 9, and leave it like that till you found a 6 cowl.

Well yes I could,but I do have some time up my sleeve.For at the moment I'm currently restoring a Model 1,Model 2,Model 2A,Model 3,4 Model 5's and two VC-160's,plus trying to fit Goliath in there as well.So I think doing 10 restores at once is properly about 8 more than I should be.So I guess that gives me time to find what I need for some mowers before I get to them.I should do a parts list to what I need somebody may have bits I need.

Well, when you put it that way, I'm sure the sheerline wont mind waiting!

Ha ha ha I don't think the bugger has a choice.So hopefully by the time I'm ready I will have found the right cowl.

Well if i come across any, I'll be sure to let you know!

Thanks that would be great.
