Hey Grumpy, thanks for your input. I know what you're saying regarding original specs, it's just value doesn't enter the equation for me as I could never part with any of my machines. I spend a ridiculous, and I mean a RIDICULOUS amount of time on these projects and enjoy every moment of it. I never alter or 'improve' mowers....just fix them up...from re-spraying to handmaking cork seals for fuel taps and caps. My Bonmow, ATCO and Webb machines are all pushing 50, but likely to go another 50 now because I've spent time on them...regardless of colour
