Hi everyone

This is my first post and a new thread on our family Scott Bonnar. My grandfather purchased it in 68-69 and then passed on it to my father. Ive been thinking about this mower for quite sometime. I came across ODK a few months ago and after reading everyones resto stories my desire to do ours could not wait any longer.

Back when I was a child we would only get out the SB to cut the cricket pitch or cut out a putting green. The rest of the time it just sat unused in the shed.

On Sunday I picked up the mower. I am now the 3rd generation holder of this mower.

My plans are to get it sharpened and running again. Then I want to scalp my lawn and sand it to get it level. While the lawn is regrowing I will get the body and reel painted.

I'm open to your suggestions on whether to repaint the motor or keeping the patina.
