Outstanding work!!! Just like a brand new one! It's going to be like a museum piece when you're done. :)
It's neat to hold onto patina, but there's just something about bringing a machine like that back to life again and seeing/appreciating what it would've looked like when it was new that can't be replicated.

Very nice, Brian !!!
Do you know what size rollers you need? ....I have an assortment of wood rollers left from old stock, so maybe, I have what you need???
I.D. X O.D. x Length x how many ?

Wanted to fire it up but as soon as I put gas in it the new B&S fuel valve I installed was defective and dripping on my new paint!!!!
