Thanks BB. I forgot to mention that I just had to get a $50 20 inch machine the other day...So, that's why I changed my mind with which machine to restore. I'll keep the 20 inch and restore that after I get this one sorted for my dad. It is finished in a lighter hammertone green and it made me think - is the darker hammertone green definitely the right colour for this mower? It's hard to tell because it's definitely been repainted.
This is the mower I'm currently restoring:
