Hi to all ODK members and Guests,

I would like to share some pics of my latest reel mower, which is a Qualcast HB5 in original (as found) condition that was owned by the late father of a good friend of mine.

The paint is still vibrant and I can't wait to get it cleaned up to see what it is really like under the grime....
The decision now facing me is the usual dilemma; to restore or conserve the machine with its original patina.

I would also like to see if an Owners Manual is available for the HB 6 and obtain a copy.

Here are the pics:

Please do not PM me asking for support. Please post your questions in the appropriate forums, as the replies it may receive may help all members, not just the individual member.
Kindest Regards, Darryl

What a beautiful example Darryl, it looks to be in excellent condition for its age. I tend to agree that it's great as is, perhaps if it were in much rougher shape I would lean towards a restoration. Either way it's a great piece. Love the pics, cheers
