I'm not trying not to keep tabs on price, but I'm sure I would be at least $200.00 on paint and I'm off tomorrow to get 5 more tins. Yes price is shocking and people wonder why we are buying overseas from China. My bearings for the front reel arrived today as well as the decals, the self aligning bearing I ordered from China for $3.00 as I was priced $25.00 from my local bearing shop. I don't like buying Chinese but that $20.00 I saved bought me the front two bearings from a bearing supplier in Sydney. I also got my clutch and friction drive pads on order to arrive next week. I'm trying to get what I can before Christmas so I can keep going over the break before everyone closes. I got a quote for chroming from a local guy and he said I would be looking at $120.00 to do the handle bars which I'm pleased about but he can't do it till February as he is booked up. The price included stripping the old rust and plating
I would never buy a new mower today no matter what, all my stuff is from the good old days I should post my machines in the collection section you would love what I have.
