Hi rayray, and a warm welcome to the forum. grin
It's always nice to have another Scott Bonnar owner on board.

Your Scotty (Model 17) Supercut was first introduced in 1950 and was considered the 'Rolls-Royce' of cylinder mowers in its day. wink

You should not require the use of a center-punch to remove anything on a Scotty.
What we require is for you to post some pics to help us to help you.
Instructions for posting pics using our forum 'Inline Uploader may be found HERE

Re: your cutting paper...please read the thread HERE
Looking forward to seeing your pics, and once again,
:welcome: to OutdoorKing.
