Vintage Rolux Cylinder Mower Restoration | The Body | Part 2 of 2.

[@rlwalker2]

To me, this is a masterpiece created by a true artist. I noticed the edges on the cutting blades. Nothing was overlooked. Great job.

[@AJRestoration]

Thank you very much Richard!

[@patjohnson3100]

Excellent restoration. You can tell by the thick castings and sheet metal that this mower was built to last. That made it an excellent candidate for restoration. Little if any plastic to get brittle and break. I'm glad you brought this great old mower back to life.

[@AJRestoration]

Thank you very much!

[@danielkelly32]

The flat tire is perfect 🛞🛞🛞🛞👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@donparker1823]

Wow so many memories. I used to wonder why the reel type mowers disappeared. After seeing the complexity of this one, I no longer wonder. So many parts! We had a Sears version of one of these with the Briggs and Stratton 3 & 1/2 HP motor back in the 60's. It was my job to mow the lawn with it.

[@robertgilmour1903]

Long live the cotter pin. Great restoration.

[@AJRestoration]

Indeed! I have a whole bottle full of them!

[@garymucher9590]

I think it is interesting how such an old reel type mower, got such a modern powder coat finish. The original manufacturer could of never imagined such a heat fused powder coat finish during that time. Nice project. Thumbs Up!

[@katigroszek]

I love the part when you try to screw on the nut several times! (18:45) 😁 Thank heavens that I am not the only one to sometimes have that! 🤣 Thanks for not editing it out! I got inspired! I will go and bring my old (1960's) grandpa's air compressor back to life! Right now!

[@alastairgordon-forbes3139]

Brilliant restoration. All those parts and all those split pins! You are obviously South African as I recognize Q20 spray and Woodoc varnish. 😀

[@AJRestoration]

And Adendorff tools hahaha

[@Waynesbusinesschanne]

I know I've said it before but I just love that mower!

[@robvanza]

Awesome job! In my young days people with those mowers had the best, their lawns always supremely cut better than the golf course!! Us, we had the push for cutting model!! Hahahaha...good old days! Cutting lawn for 50c and then going to buy nicker balls @ 2 for a cent!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼

[@AJRestoration]

Thank you, Yeah good old days, that is how I used to earn my pocket money.

[@AJRestoration]

Baie dankie haha

[@richa9719]

20:21. Curious If there was anything you could have done for that big crack? JB weld even?

[@AJRestoration]

Probably body putty, but I liked the look of the crack.

[@richa9719]

Great work! That is so awesome! If someone has a small putting green in their back yard they would love this!

[@AJRestoration]

That would be cool!

[@DaimlerSleeveValve]

Three drive chains AND a drive belt! So MANY different fastener types and sizes! There's no way any company could afford to build this now.

[@AJRestoration]

I know, its insane what they made back then!

[@juancarlospereyra7855]

Muy buen trabajo!! una belleza el resultado, las dos partes muy buenas...

[@billysteadman399]

Great job! Those old reel type mowers really cut the grass pretty. 🙂

[@AJRestoration]

Yes it does!

[@vinceianni4026]

Hello AJ beautiful restoration good job well done my friend

[@AJRestoration]

Thank you buddy!

[@lenscap8925]

Keep an eye out for the tires for the rims...nice restoration

[@AJRestoration]

Thanks! Will do! I am also on the lookout for a grass bin/box.

[@bierstein4534]

Theres a my mechanics video where he makes his own solid tires for something similar. A lot of work, for sure.

[@patrickstoquert1637]

Tout simplement superbe magnifique restoration excellente qualité

[@theoneandonlyowl3764]

Lovely job. Excellent work. I hope your lawn is level enough to take advantage of it's use. I was so close to buying one about 20 years ago (a modern one). So much money though... I'd be interested to hear what Rudolf the Gardener thinks of it. He sure does love his mowers.

[@AJRestoration]

He loved it haha. They are extremely expensive.

[@waltereldridge9447]

I watched both videos and a great restoration job. How many antique lawnmowers start with just on pull anymore 🤔😆👍👍

[@AJRestoration]

Few of them, This is one of the few that started right up. I thought it's going to fight me.

[@Megadronte]

Gratuliere gute Arbeit

[@coryandrews3483]

Awesome restoration! Watched every episode! Can't wait to see more

[@jelaro2882]

Nice job! But I really wish you would use some grease or lubricant during assembly...

[@AJRestoration]

Great point!

[@pascaljeske7307]

Yes wow i Love it so very good Job ❤️👍❤️

[@kurokaya5072]

Yaaaas that smile agaaain💗☺️ great work btw its amazing how you can do all that !

[@AJRestoration]

Smile every time! Thank you!

[@silverbullet7434]

Shame the tires are no longer available. But a great restoration , like the detail you went with it.

[@AJRestoration]

Thank you, I can fit new tires but it does not fit the vintage look.

[@RestorationAustralia]

Well done.

[@polishmachine8303]

The best, I really enjoy the video, I'm waiting for the next video, always enthusiastic and healthy 🙏

[@BayerischeMeisterWerke]

How about greasing all the moving parts (gears, chains, axles)? But otherwise it looks perfect😉👍

[@AJRestoration]

Thanks for the tip! I did lube them afterwards off camera.

[@brucebonkowsky9406]

nice job but why no protection.for those knobs you wired brushed maybe a clear coat and i.put some anti seize on the bolts

[@antn260]

Congratulazioni 👍👍👍

[@restorationconstantines7731]

Best☺️

[@XLAdvRider]

Great work! What liquid was put on the wooden wheels? Will you add hand grips later? Would be nice to see the process for honing/sharpening the blades and cutting bar. Parts washer next on your shopping list? 😉

[@AJRestoration]

Parts washer indeed actually, I am busy building a larger shed for all my shenanigans. I need more space for things like the parts washer.

[@robertmailhos8159]

That is whole lot of parts of this classic mower to.put back together when you are done with this but you got this matter well in hand young man 😎

[@touche4164]

What is your process to remembering where things go? Do you take photos?

[@AJRestoration]

I just look at the footage of the disassembly if I can't remember.

[@Blaze_1961]

Needed to sharpen and align the cutting blades and fix that crack. Other than that nice job.

[@rudolfthegardener6105]

Well done! Goeie werk Andre

[@AJRestoration]

[@AJRestoration]

¡¡¡Muchas gracias!!!

[@amilcarmoncada1801]

@@AJRestoration 💯👍

[@randomprojectstube]

Absolutely brilliant restoration AGAIN part one and part 2 . 👍 just curious 23 minutes 6 seconds into the video, was that a rusty washer?

[@AJRestoration]

Probably, haha got to keep some of the origional rust in there!

[@randomprojectstube]

🤣

[@freko1988]

Still not found a place to fit the blue toycar?

[@samuelfellows6923]

😐 - that was used for size comparison

[@vk4uh96]

Such a shame - great video but not a spot of lubrication used anywhere in reassembly

[@juloedtb1420]

Using little sprockets in to ninja throwing stars? Mooi gerestaureerd zoals gewoonlijk.

[@AJRestoration]

I actually wanted to throw them and see if it pegs! Haha, baie dankie!

[@persioboni9373]

Excelente perfeito !

[@YaqoubAhmad]

عمل رائع

[@restaurandocoisasvelhas]

🤩🤩😎😎😎

[@monteiromecanica6203]

Show...Like 1k.

[@CarsRestored]

Me: No way he can restore this AJ: Hold my mower

[@sonicbluecoupe]

Curious why they would design it to throw grass clippings all over the operator?

[@AJRestoration]

It is supposed to have a grass box that catches the clippings. I could not find one in time for the restoration. They are extremely rare.

[@sonicbluecoupe]

@@AJRestoration makes sense. The modern ones have the gas catcher up front. It’s like they reversed the design

[@colin_5839]

Very nice!

[@AJRestoration]

Thanks!
