I've sent the complete cutting assembly away to be professionally disassembled, cleaned and sharpened. I'll let you know how I get on.

Meanwhile I went to see the other mower this morning. It's a 14" SB45 fitted with a Kirby 2HP engine and for not much money brought it home. With the old cars and now old mowers, my good wife is starting to shake her head smile

I've started a new thread (with pictures) for the other mower.
