Hi BB
I just use the push mower out the front at the moment, if I can eventually get the weeds out of it then the Scotty will definately explore the front yard if I can get the lawn lush.
To be honest I got alot of things that need to be finished around the house so no plans on another Scotty, the wife already has plans changing some of the rooms in the house around, which she has already started.
To be honest I did pick up a model 40 this year that I bought cause it was $30.00 (no brainer the catcher is worth more than that) I was thinking maybe I could get it up and running with out restoring it and get some weed stripes happening. It's all origional with the Villiers engine but I don't know if I can swap the engine with an older Briggs I got laying around. I'm pretty sure the old Villiers will run with a service, now that you brought it up what's your thoughts on the model 40? Worth the trouble or flog it off and get another 45. Don't know what their worth and if the difference in in what I get to what I can buy is worth it considering I paid nothing for it. There are 2 origional model 40's for sale in NSW for $800.00 & $1,000, they won't sell for that but I'm pretty sure you could get a 45 for $300.00 - $400.00 if your glued online and are quick and prepared to travel.
Cheers
