Thanks for the replies and welcoming me to the forum.
I have found a lot of information on other restorations I have read on the forum so I shouldn't have too many questions, but will keep putting up photos of my progress. I have taken some more photos of the blade area and chains. A lot of the bearings seem to have a bit of play so while it is apart I will replace all the bearings. The frame around the engine looks really good with no cracks. Happy to read the reel is still serviceable as this was the only part that concerned me a little bit. Yes, I wont put the edger back on (It did come complete with the mower. The pulley doesn't seem to want to unscrew from the clutch shaft, but I will see what I can do. Apart from that, [Linked Image]

the machine had a lot of oil and grease over it so it has been easy to take apart so far.
