Todays Project - What did you do today?

[Micktoon]

Evening Lads, well I did not get too much chance to do much today but made a little progress, I got the rest of the bits of steel cut out and trimmed to be a good fit then ground off the paint where the welding needs to be and cut out the rotted bits of the old deck.





I have a strip of 3 inch wide steel just long enough to do the skirt but will have to cut off the horrible previous repair around the front for it to fit snug, I then plan to weld a bit of round bar around the bottom of the skirt to strengthen it up a bit. I think she will be chuffed to bits with it as she does not know its getting the full works on the deck, just thinks its getting some patches riveted on. Its nice to be able to help someone that age out , I know if a mower place saw it they would write it off to sell a newer one and that would probably be more fragile and less repairable than this one. This one does a good job it just needs a bit of TLC lol.

P.S if anyone is wondering , how many grinders do you need to repair a mower .............. at £10 each from boot sales , I have one for every type of grinding disc lol.

Cheers Mick.
