Hello waikphys and Global Mod. Grumpy,

I also welcome you to these ODK forums.
It's nice to see another SB33 user! These are nice machines.
They are the precursor to the Model 45 design, still used as a template for
modern reel mowers made today.

I think Grumpy is correct in saying that we do not have an Operator's Manual
for the 33 as yet...

Apart from obvious maintenance, the main concern would be whether your machine has
unsealed bearings on the reel. If so, they would need oiling every use. Generally,
the modern practice is to used totally sealed bearings, and this probably would
have occurred during a sharpen and set.

Hopefully, an experienced member may be able to supply additional information for you.
In the meantime, I hope this helps.

Any pictures of your machine, including a close-up of the serial plate, would be most welcome.

JACK.
