Picked up a 50a deck
 

Picked up a 50a deck for the 1650SGT today .Has some rusted through spots but that ain`t no problem to fix.Spindles turn freely with no slop.Going to restore it this winter.It just needs a good cleaning first.

Nice find on the deck, Keep us posted on your progress when you start the restore :beerchug:

Good score! Looking forward to your restoration thread. :beerchug:

X 3!! I have a 44C I need to restore to useful condition. I'd like to see how you go about it before I start mine. I was thinking about using POR 15 on the underside to plug the pinholes and strengthen the thin spots. Seems I read a thread a while back where somebody did that. The bodyworker in me, though, makes me want to cut out the rust and replace the metal. I look forward to seeing your solutions.
