I have the impression that people are posting about their model 45s in Victoria, but I haven't counted the owners and threads. As you go further north the grass grows faster, and people take their mowers more seriously. Nevertheless Victorians still have mowers, and some of them must be model 45s. Are you sure you want to start restoring a model 45 right this minute? If you work with your 590 for a while first, you'll learn more about reel mowers, and you'll also have more time to find the right 45.
