Agreed. As I've said before: Cleat's work could be used to make all new color manuals!

spectacular -- the BIG question is do you hang it on the wall like an art project so you can look at it???? -- or do you use it and get it dirty?!!!!!!!! -- Like you did --- When I do a deck rehab, I always like doing a few parts with the black paint as an accent -- the rear axle brackets - the pulleys - the lift index unit - even the pulley belt covers - also I do the front rollers in new black plus the rubber lift carriage bumpers get new paint - you did nice job -- now you'll want to do another -- then another, etc!!!!!!!!!! Here are couple different deck rehab photo examples

Yes, I have these decks here currently that I have refurbished.

These have not been used since.

 

42" #1

 

42" #2

 

48" #1

 

60"

 

This is the 48" I mow with so it is not as pretty any more.

It currently does not have a bagger attached so it has the standard belt guard installed.

geez, even the towels you used to prevent scratching are color coordinated!  (red and white)

 

as always, your work is top notch!
