Slash the only thing I replaced on it apart from gaskets and the sticker was the blade carrier because a section of it had completely rusted away. The hub caps are steel and had big holes in them so I repaired all those. The purpose of it was to retain all the bits because it was his fathers mower I didn't want it to end up like grandpa's axe, it has had a new head fitted and 3 new handles but it is still grandpa's axe
