OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Repairs and Maintenance Questions on Walk Behind Lawn Mower Frames Question On Scott Bonnar Cylinder Mowers How "NOT" to treat your SB Model 45

Hi all,

Picked this sad and sorry 20 inch SB 45 up yesterday and thought I'd share the pictures of it and what not to let happen to yours.









I will also post up a photo of the engine PTO shaft which has been totally butchered much like that engine key steel in the first photo.

Honestly this mower would be a really good example to document on this forum as to how to bring the worst example of a Model 45 back to totally user serviceability.

The last photos are of the front chassis rail that has suffered from total failure and will no longer support the weight of the engine let alone keep it aligned with the clutch and transfer drive shaft.

Cheers,
BB

Some people shouldn't be allowed to have nice things mate. Your right bringing back something so mistreated is worth documenting and making a reference for future.

This makes me mad
