OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Restoring, Customising and Modifying Reel-Type Mowers Double SB45 restoration

Hi mikeo, and a warm welcome to the forum. It's nice to have another Scott Bonnar Model 45 owner on board.
My congratulations on scoring a nice pair of Scotties there, mate.

What you have there are both Series 2 (twin rail engine deck) machines with the original Briggs engines fitted.
In order for us to give you a correct assessment, we would appreciate you posting some close-up pics of the machines with the side chain case removed, and pics of all the sprockets (where the teeth are not covered by the chains) and some close-ups of the cylinder reel and bottom blade to assess the condition.

Could you please post the whole string of numbers stamped into the metal air cowlings...These are the Model, Type and Code....See the pic here:

Grumpy, our resident guru on Briggs engines, can give you advice on any engine issues; Bonnar Bloke and I can advise on any issues with the chassis that you may have.

Once again, to OutdoorKing.
