I'm hoping to get the rear roller and engine mounted on in the next few days, so stay tuned. Still have to clean up the grass deflector and chain case cover, once their painted I just have to get the handle bars sent off for chroming and reel and bed knife sharpener. The rest is just fiddly stuff like cleaning up sprokets and chains and linning it all up. I will do the catcher last as it needs a bit of work with rust dents and a few holes, it's something I can do slowly as I feel unmotivated every time I look at it. So once the mower is restored and looking beautifull it might get me off my back side and finish it off completely.
There's a few 18v mowers poping up around my street as well as those cheap Bunnings no name Chinese plastic rubbish brands. Funny thing is people look at me funny when I got the Rover Super Four 53 out with the side cart catcher and I'm walking behind it one handed. Could also be the fact that the 5hp Briggs screams so loud at full throttle you can hear it two suburbs away.
