PART TWO –Model 35 Details
In its lifespan, the Model 35 had only a couple of significant changes.
The first models had chassis decals; later models would cast
‘Scott Bonnar’ into the chassis.

The only significant upgrade was the change from single-point
rotary knob height adjuster to single-point lever ….
A logical choice for the modern world. Yes, there were less-
significant changes, like handle bars...



This mower offered, from its introduction, a steel side catcher.
These are rare today, and I guess the vast majority of buyers
didn’t need one. This was a grass cutting work-horse.

Other changes were always with the power units offered,
maybe a dozen or so engine variants over the Model 35’s
lifespan. This included changes to engine, starter, and
air cleaner offerings.

A particular point should be made about the base.
It never included secondary skirting … meaning that it was
always considered a professional, rather than domestic lawnmower.

KNOWN MODEL 35 VARIANTS: -
This is an incomplete list. For example, it does not include the earliest models,
like the Villiers 4-stroke powered Model 35s.
