Thanks for the information and greeting from the Netherlands
Recently My wife and i bought a 50's house which we renovated, and last week the front lawn was put into place.
My brother is member of a hipster vintage moped club, so I tought it might be amusing if i got hands of a vintage lawnmover to have a laugh at their club. After much searching i found a Suffolk Super Colt in great shape. Was in the family of the owner for at least 25 years. Runs like a train and is overall in a great condition.
I found this site and am delighted by all the technical and other information and after strolling through the types of mowers am looking at my lawnmower with different eyes. Now i am determined to get it to run for at least another 25 years or more.

I think these were the
I think these were the standard roller on the Super Colt:

The earlier Suffolks had wooden rollers which I would suggest you made from a hardwood material on a lathe, based on the existing rollers you have. Beech or Oak are a good example of material to use.
