Hi Steve, now your talkin' mate, a Scotty with a GX Honda!! I am considering a 10 blade reel for mine as well. As always a brilliant job...Looks better than new.
I have often said on this forum, there are different ways of restoring machines; full resto to original specs, cosmetic resto without dismantling, conservation of original machine to prevent deterioration, and a non-original but functional machine, Steve's machine falls into the last category, with the Honda engine and the 10 blade cylinder reel....not original but very functional...It will give a terrific finish, reliable engine, less vibration and hours of mowing pleasure. This Scotty is no show pony, it works for a living.
Steve, and well done mate.
