Hi there - I'm new to these Forums.
I am planning to buy my first powered reel mower, I have been pushing around a manual reel for the best part of ten years now and have decided its time to upgrade (I'm getting tired of pushing).

I'm looking to buy a second hand Scott Bonnar model 45 and was hoping someone has some pointers of what to look for when buying second hand (worn parts, cracks, bent shafts, leaks etc. that sort of thing). Maybe even a test that I can do?

I'm planning on having a look at this mower on the weekend; ($550 - is there anything from these pics you can tell me?
