Hi to all on ODK forum. As a new owner of a Rover 45 mower I came across this site while doing some research and have been a watcher in the background for a couple of days. This is a great forum with heaps of info so I'm looking forward to picking people's brains as I progress through my rebuild. The mower has a BS 3.5 power plant, everything runs but it deffo needs some tlc to get it purring. So far the cylinder and blades are off (thanks to the vid on here), carby and fuel tank stripped and cleaned, and I'm now moving on to the engine, wish me luck.

Cheers

Hello Fast_Twist and SDooper

A warm welcome from me too!
The Model 45 is a great mower to rebuild - because critical parts
are available, and the mower retains a contemporary design.

A good place to start on these forums is 'Active Topics'.
Information on how to post pictures may be found HERE.

Best of luck with your rebuild.

Hello Fast_Twist,

Also from myself a big warm welcome !

You've certainly come to the right place if you are restoring or just owning a Model 45.

If you have any specific questions please go the the heading of "Repairs and Maintenance" and look under "Question on Scott Bonnar Cylinder Mowers", from there you'll be able to get any info you require and what makes it even better is that others get to benefit from your questions also.

Again a huge welcome :welcome:

Cheers,
BB
