All but there! New engine cover in place, however I've made the thing a poofteenth too small and it will need encouragement to fit over the engine tray. Although the original sides were used, I think the welding process has shrunk it just a mite too much. I am unable, or unwilling to "encourage it" at the moment, as the paint is too fresh, so I shall have to wait a few days yet.

The stickers are in the same category and will probably go on next week or so.

The wiring is not complete, although run, as I have considered the 240volt thing, and decided to allow a qualified electrician to do the final wiring. Truth is, I'm in no hurry for that as I doubt the mower will ever see service while I own it.

Anyway, happy Easter break to all & I shall return to my shed.

After a cup of tea and a good dose of "what th' hell" apart from the bed knife & wiring, here it is.

Hello John

Yep, look what the bunny laid for Easter.
Many thanks for the update.

This is a rare restoration of an SB electric.
I hope it inspires others.

I'm sure it will be a pleasure to use.

p.s. I feel the catcher decal should have been lower [as in the original]

Hi John,

I totally second what Jack has said on all accounts, yes I to found the catcher decal odd.

So what's happening with the reel grind which still hasn't been done ?

Cheers,
BB.

Or was it painted post-grind?

Anyway, a vote for 'superlative restoration' from this corner! cool


Cheers,
