Hi ollie,

My best advice to you since you've never owned a cylinder cut mower is to simply get this one up and fully mechanically serviceable and see how you like using it.

If you are really happy with it then I'd advance on to your eventual goal, but if not then you've left it pretty much original and ready for someone else to tackle cosmetically.

Cheers,
BB.
