Norm, what's your advice regards a PT steel base rear catch mower I'm tinkering with atm?

Base is solid throughout (to my surprise) but it's in that common old green and with quite a bit of surface rust scattered throughout.

Motor goes ok but piston is a bit scored but bore looked ok when I peeked through exhaust port.

Carby needs a rebuild to restore idle speed.

Was thinking of giving it a spray with some blue hammertone but is it better just to separate the motor and base and keep them aside or worth the effort to do up quickly and sell?

Forgive me for hijacking your topic ironbark.

PS: I have a Victa chute that can go with it. Worth selling together or sell chute separate???

Ahh, if only victa had kept producing the thumblatch catcher series, they would be in better shape today!
