Hi Matt, A big warm welcome to the forum. It's nice to have you onboard.

Here's hoping we can help you with any information you may require as we all love to learn things and tinker here

.... And...... we love to see pics of your projects!!
PS, don't forget to log into chat sometime and say hi, we're often online after 8pm.
I also have a Scotty Model 45, I have posted pics as 'Scott Bonnar Model 45 Restored' on the "Old Mower Pictures topic.....check it out; it may be of interest to ya....
