Hello to members. I have completed a restoration of my grandfathers Lawn Patrol which he purchased in 1959. The project has taken a couple of years and required the need to gather a few (many) bits and pieces to ensure that the mower is 100% manufacturers parts. A full disassembly and bare metal effort took place. Some very small tension washers and items like them were hard to clean but eventually they became presentable. I worked with a local sticker maker to reproduce a full decal set which helps to set the mower off quite well. There were many trips to paint and product providers and a few 'lets start that again' moments.
These mowers were quite a good look in their day and this one in particular did a lot of work for the family over the years. A note: the 1st time I saw this old girl was when I was a pre-schooler and I remember asking my grandfather "What's wrong with it"? HIs reply: "it's flooded". This became a great source of frustration for me over the years being kid who had to mow the lawns. However, there are lots of memories attached to this fine working and attractive family piece. I hope you like the photos. Regards, Steve
