Hi Cyberjack
As you can see the chain is missing from the drive but the great news is the seemingly original pull start rip cord was placed out on the nature strip along with the mower. I am already very mindful of how delicate the decals, paintwork and general condition of the mower currently sits. Would love to clean it up but am fearful of doing damage to history.
The rubber spark plug boot is all but melted away so am very hesitant to do anything more than lightly brush away dust that hasn't stuck to parts.
Photos are low res phone images but am more than happy to take as many and from all angles in high res for the purpose of record if you wish. let me know
Joe
