Hi, I'm new to here and to the restoration of machinery, although I have had the desire to restore something like an old tractor for some time, I have lowered my sights to my recent purchases, my two mowers. The Thomas Green and Son has a 1951 Villiers on it, it turns over ok, but is going to be a back to bare metal restoration. I would like to get a new/reconditioned reel and blade, if possible as the existing reel is almost rusted away. I have joined the Old Lawnmower Club of UK for information on this unit.
The Scott Bonnar tag is 45 32239, and the 2HP B&S is a Model 60102, Type 030201 and Code 7111103, so looks like the engine was made in 1971. I would like to get a new / reconditioned reel and base blade, and if there any out there a catcher, has anyone any leads to replacement parts? The engine started in three pulls, after changing the oil, new plug, and cleaned the air filter, and a wee drop of carby cleaner in the tank, so I will only be doing an external restore on it.
Any pointers, especially on parts would be much appreciated.
