Thanks Deejay for the reply. Sorry for late reply, been on holidays.

I''ll post some photos later. But at the moment do you know if the colour "green" in the photo is the standard colour? By reading other posts the original hammered green was replaced when Rover bought the rights to SB and they changed the colour green to plain (not hammered finish). Also, I have found that there are no standard colour codes for either of the two colours.

What is strange is the large drive roller has also been painted green. Is this a sloppy restoration job or did Rover paint their mowers like this?

What also annoys me is the previous owner must have had clutch issues because they drilled a hole right through the clutch and inserted a bolt. All these things are making me think the previous owner was a careless owner. Though all this doesn't matter because I'm in the process of fully rebuilding it.

Also thanks to the other members who are posting pictures of their rebuilt mowers. I'm getting a lot of advice and tips from you all.
