Hello, this is newbie Chris from South Hampshire

[snowy the grey 0]

Just acquired a barn find B-115. Unexpected hence will be a future project. In the meantime I have given it a general service and carried out some preservation to the rusted body. Colour not quite correct Wheelhorse but it will do for now. Engine started first time although the silencer is straight through. Only thing missing is a mower deck, if anyone knows where one may be resting unwanted please contact me.

Will post pics asap.
