11/51 eh?
It's nearly as old as me. (give or take about seven years)

I have my shoulder to the wheel,
my nose to the grindstone,
I've put my best foot forward,
I've put my back into it,
I'm gritting my teeth,

Now I find I can't do any work in this position!

Removed the old tyres n cleaned up the inside of the wheels. There is a red cutter bar and fuel tank so I painted the actuating arm  that operates the cutter bar. When running you will clearly see how it works. One of the inner tubes was bloody old as it was red in colour.

Perfect morning for spraying so got stuck into most of it. I'm happy with the colour which matched very well with the green sitting on top of the red metal primer. 
Now to wait for the right time to safely turn it over in a day or so.

Is that because the lounge room is off limits now?

Maybe the lounge room spray booth is the reason he had to lie on the nice soft concrete a few days ago?

Don't worry PDU, we still love you.

It's all back out in the sun to help cure. Tomorrow I will flip these main 3 parts n spray plus the bottom alloy part of the engine as it was originally. 
I do have a small section that has wrinkled possibly due to paint too thick in that small part. Probably can't help myself n will consider repainting that section.
Today I brushed a bit of red on the underside of the cutter bar. Wasn't sure if I would have enough at the time of spraying plus wanted some for touch ups after assembly.
