hi! all This is my first scotty i rebuilt i sprayed it with pressure packs at the time. Because all the hard work was done it wasnt so bad rebuilding it a second time. spraying it with a gun is less work the original paint was white knight alpine green hammertone and now its a custon green made as close as possible to the original scott bonnar hammertone green from protec hammertone paint, the honda engine starts very easy this cylinder mower is the one i use regularly the 10 blade cutter will give about 330 cuts a metre regards steve.
