OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Repairs and Maintenance Questions on Walk Behind Lawn Mower Frames Question On Scott Bonnar Cylinder Mowers Rebuild 45

Thanks. I'll soak it overnight.

Well, here's some pics of the rebuild so far. It's been a ground up resto which got out of control! I'll blame you guys for that

I had to pull the engine off to weld up the cracks on the engine frame. All 4 holes had cracks, so I welded them up and also welded some extra reinforcement bars on top and underneath to stiffen things up.





Whilst I had everything stripped off the frame, I got all the big parts powdercoated. I stripped the drive drum apart and lubed up the insides and replaced the bearings too which were a bit rough.









Got to replace those horrible rusty bolts tomorrow! They are wrecking the new 2013 makeover look. I was going to get the handlebars etc chrome plates, but I fell over when I got a quote....they wanted to slug me over $300, so I got the bars powdercoated silver.




Got some cool retro Scott Bonnar decals from ebay!!
