Hi again SB Obsession,

We would like to help you restore your Model 45, but to help us we will need larger pics of your machine, from different angles, including the cylinder reel and bedknife blade, and the inside of the chain case, ( which is on the right hand side, looking from the front) with pics of the sprockets where they are not covered by the chain.
Instructions for posting pics can be found HERE wink

This will let us access the condition of the sprockets and chains, and the overall condition of the machine. grin

Here is a pic showing good detail of the underside of a Model 45 (Series 1) mower chassis, to give you an idea of the size....

Could you also please post the complete string of numbers: (Model, Type and Code) that are stamped into the metal air cowling of the Briggs engine, from which we can get the date of its manufacture, and model information...this will also help us determine a rough idea of your machine age, as you cannot establish a Scotty's age by the model number or mower number. wink
cheers2
