Thanks Darryl,
Yes I love this machine it is tough bit of gear, I can't wait to sort out the small engine hiccup and then oil her and adjust it up and give her a run across the lawn. I'm sure my neighbors and passers by will definitely do a double take at the old villiers chugging along.
I can't wait to fit the new 8 blade reel to it, it seems to have a nice twist to it, I'm sure the grass is going to love it...
Ps I just noticed your name in the signature area of your post, think I might do the same... Fathead.... wasn't sure what to put there when I first signed up.... I'll have to look into that one

Cheers Glenn.
