G'day gml,

Beautiful, just beautiful!! I feel I should say more but can't think what......it's just.....beautiful!

Looks like you got a very good match on the honda red colour.

Can't wait for the video of it up and running!

Cheers,

thank's prd your keen eye found this engine and it is a ripper very quite too,the paint is rustoluem red, i think that's how it's spelt,thank's again prd you played a part in the rebirth,have a good night..

Very 1950s looking, especially with that white steering wheel.
Never seen dual tyres on a sit on mower.

thank's mowerfreak, i believe they were an option for stability on hilly country,i may be wrong,cheer's

Very well done there gml that is just a first class job you have there,top shelf.
Really something to be proud of.
As a restorer of rotary mowers I know how much hard work and long hours go into restoring mowers and yours are a lot bigger than mine.So I can appreciate the workmanship that has gone into it.Your attention to detail is also first class.
Well done and keep up the awesome work.

Very nice work there gml, with attention to detail

thank's for the positive comments blumby and bigted,it's an enjoyable task and the help from the forum members is priceless!

G'day all

gml, absolutely stunning.
It's always the detail that sets apart top-end jobs.
Congratulations from me too!

GML that looks the goods mate, nice work.

Just a quick question is this one the same model?

Morning again all,

Jack, Is that ad a Trove find? If so you've got better search skills than I! I'd be interested in a date on that ad. The significance is that it looks to be the same model as geenhorn's mates one over on the other thread. Significantly:

Round front decal
RHS axle pivot bracket (it think. Blurry B&W photo)
One piece transmission cover.

Cheers,

g'day blumbly,that is a later model different bonnet hinge,front axle, engine anddrive pulley cowl..cheer's

Hi prd
No, not a Trove find. There is little available on Greenfield anywhere.
It was just hard slog and a lucky find.

The ad dates to 19/10/1968 and was taken from the Sydney Morning Herald.
[right click on image and 'save image as' will give this info.]

Cheers

Morning Jack,

Many thanks for that.

That date is a fair bit older than I was expecting........

Cheers,

Is it just me or does the greenfield in Jacks ad have a different deck to yours GML? it almost looks like a sheet metal version.

-Greenfielder

yes mate completely different,mine is a two piece cover,i think it was later changed for a one piece,
