Silens Messor lives outdoors and earns its keep
So i have owned this SM for years, she lives outside all year round and is used weekly to cut the grass. A few weeks ago i had some spare time so i gave her a repaint and service. I know shes not the correct colour and the box is wrong but she earns her keep and is out in all weather so i just thought she deserved a smarten up, not a restoration, just a smarten up

Great stuff!! It's the basis for my small collection, machines that actually work and do the job for which they were intended. Although a few have crept in over the years that do not strictly adhere to these rules :)

If faye would allow it, I would have a couple of my old machines in the garden as a permanent display, best I can get away with is leaving it a few hours before putting them away. Nice to use
