The black air cleaner actually started on the Model 5 special series 3.On the blue the hose is suppose to be high on the handles not as far as the throttle control.Like in this picture.

As you can see no edger slot.
This one is my coffee table there are a few things that are not correct on it,but it was restored as it was found.

As far as which one to restore,why not do both? As far as which one is more desirable,well there both fairly common mowers and still not in short supply.The series 2 is not as common as the series 1,but in saying that there is still a lot still out there.The guys (like myself) that restore these ones don't do it for the dollars we do them for the love of it. Even a restored Model 5 doesn't fetch big dollars I guess due to there being so many still around.There are a lot more rarer mowers out there that bring in big dollars.So I say do both I am anyway.
