Thanks for the link BB - thats a decent price that will save me a ton of time too!
Normally I'd visit our metal guys and see what they have but we haven't needed much Stainless of late. I thought about using some black steel I eyed when I was last there and even toyed with a compressed rubber alternative. In reality whilst I think it would be nice to dabble with alternates, my first restore should stick to what I set out for (a cosmetic upgrade) and I have plenty of time to work on any number of potential outcomes and so much more to learn from you guys here on the forum!
Groomer reel came from Trident Mowing in West AU. $600. 30 tungsten tip blades, spacers, bearings, key and freighted to me. When looking around I thought it was a fair price and by memory the other guys in Victoria were asking north of $800.
It is barely visible in the above photo with the engine - the clutch half has refused to budge and I'm not confident enough to strong-arm it further for fear of breaking something. Do you have any tips or maybe just leave it and paint it "as is"? Would a sprocket puller have a chance?
Cheers,
TC.
