Back On Repairing Lawnmowers. In this video I rescue a scrap Sovereign lawnmower fitted with an SV - RV150 engine. We do a few checks to see what the problem was why it was left for scrap and attempt to get it in to working condition so it will make a decent lawnmower for someone.

Hi Martin just discovered your channel and loving all the car and mower work you do. I have to say your cars that you spray are absolutely fantastic, they look perfect and glossy, yep I've watched just about every video you've done where you spray a car. Can I please ask a question, what type of paint and clear coat do you spray, I'm guessing it's a base coat and clear coat but what brand/type would I look for if I wanted to achieve the same shine you do? I'm new to car spraying! Cheers
