My grandfather loved a good tin of paint so I�m not surprised that it�s not the original colour (but I�m surprised that it�s not his favourite tone of dark brown)

Yes, what is it with grandfathers and dark brown?
Is it a genetic remnant of the Great Depression ... who knows?

The original paint is within the chain cover.

Aerrow, could you confirm the Mower serial number on the plate?
That may prove important for provenance.

I hope you find a manual.
Look for the dark brown folder marked 'Aerrow' grin

Both Mod BB and myself love these early 14" Model 45s.
This one is very much worth saving - because of the family connection
and its early manufacture.

Many thanks.
