I'm going to measure up and get a cutter drive belt plus some cork for the clutch lining. I'll then be able to see if everything is OK. I then plan to strip it all down and take the various body and chassis parts to a local shot blast and powder coat company and get them to finish it in the orange colour that you can see on the drive pulleys / clutch as I am guessing that this was the original colour for the mower. I read somewhere that Briggs engines were painted black, I don't know if that is true but if so I'll strip that down too and repaint it. The one problem I foresee is getting replacement name decals so I may take some more close up photos of these and find a company who can reproduce them for me.
