Chroming the handles is about $250 after I have got them sand-plastered.The axles and high adjusters originally where galvanised,but I can see that the way galvanising that is done today really doesn't look the same as it was back when these guys were made.I really didn't want that look,I wanted them to look new.So after the basic clean up.I then hit them hard with a wire wheel (on my bench drill) then polished them with autosol.Now because there was no galvanising left to protect the metal I then went over them with a clear coat,to seal them off so that they wouldn't start to rust.I know it's not original,but it was cheaper and still gives off a similar look to how it would have been,or maybe even better than it would have been.After all I don't have the worry about the clear coming off as they are not going to be used for mowing lawns any more.Those days are over for these guys.

Here for a good time,not a long time.
