Some of you may remember Homer's Lawn Ranger from SC that got restored last year. He bought it new when he was a teenager and used it to mow other peoples yards for extra money. If you don't remember it it's here - Homer's Lawn Ranger Restore

He brought 2 decks here a few weeks ago and I will be taking 2 and making one. There are parts missing from his original deck and there is a little rust in it. They will be going out to the pressure washer today as soon as it warms up. :thumb1

Other than tearing down the spindles and replacing bearings and seals I have all of the best parts ready to make 1 good deck. Rods are straightened, rough edges are off, and all of the rusted in cotter pins are out. I still need to take the good shell out for 1 more pressure washing before it goes in the blaster to get a little grease off that was under the housing, and a few things need to go in the parts washer. Then it will be blasting time. :woo
