Gotta love the history of these mowers, hence going with one to restore. (Thanks heaps for the info guys!)

So I found some time to grab my son away from the playstation and we began to strip.

I will remove the paint tomorrow for closer inspection of the rails. Initial inspection looks good.
As for the motor. I'd love to keep her, but I will feel much better about this is we go and get something a bit more reliable. Its funny because the motor was made before I was even born and still runs....just.....
I'll update tomorrow with strip pics when I have more light on the subject.


Any trick to removing this bolt? Its very still. (I know about the gear puller for the gear itself.) I have the unit on its side soaking in wd40 as we speak.
