Hi all, Six month ago I picked up a SB45 14� from a roadside rubbish heap.
Talking to an old green keeper at work �Les� reported these machines work very well and finish with a very nice cut. I have been putting effort into the lawns at home as I am about to sell so I thought stuff it I'll give it a go.
The SB was complete and original, with little effort I sorted some minor ignition problems and had it running,
I have been hook from the minute I had a drive. I absolutely love it!
With some lurking around here reading a lot, I have completed the following.
- Purchase an old tired but complete Kirby Tecumseh motor to rob a few odds and sods. - Fitted a new air filter - Replaced the muffler with a new replacement - Fresh engine oil - New plug - Reel paint and re-race - Cleaned up the soul plate and bottom knife. - Back lapped the mc - Cleaned up the chains �hot grease bath� reassembled and adjusted.
I appreciate the member�s effort for correlating and maintaining a place with so much documented knowledge, and hope to contribute a little as my new obsession progresses.
