Hi Grumpy,
Thanks for the kind words, and yes she does run as well as she looks.
Originally it was just to get the engine going, but one thing led to another and i wound up doing a restore, To be honest Grumpy I think this has been good therapy for me in the way it helped me through dealing with the loss of my wife.
I think you might be getting this Iron Horse mixed up with My Kirby Lauson which has the speed control on the handle. this too has a 2 speed control which you can see in photo 5 its a blue lever on the back of the motor.
The Kirby is my next project, now that i have a manual for it, i can at least have a go at getting it going.
I'm moving up in the engine dept from 2 to 4 stroke, you may be hearing more from me with questions about the 4 stroke engine hahaha
edit:
Forgot to mention the Orange is Chevy orange by 3M which is as close as i could get to a match for the orange parts.
The body i took the grass flap to get a paint match as i couldn't find anything close that i was happy with.
the handle brackets, Handle and the silver center on the flywheel i used White Knight super Chrome in a spray can and was really surprised with the outcome, couldn't afford electroplating and the handle chrome was flaking off, chrome splinters are no fun lol
