Last Sunday week I wen't to the local tip to drop off a pile of empty degreaser cans etc and promised my self I would not even glance at the tip shop front on the way through but in the corner of my eye i spot a rather imposing red object, ignored it but no had to stop on the way out to have a look. Yep Super 24, first one iv'e seen in the flesh and am certain it would have come from a local market garden, which most of have now disappeared. Had a look over it and apart from the engine being seized, was all in tact to my untrained eye. I went back the following Friday as the tip shop only opens from Friday to Sunday, expecting it to be gone but was still there, I could envisage this machine having many years of serviceable life ahead of it and it came home with a plan which may or may not work. Fit a donor engine off the other mower pictured, new axle bushes, new blades are already fitted, bolt holes in reasonable condition. I have a new criteria and check list to comply with before i bring any new mowers home, as follows and might help others with full sheds !
Q1, do i really need this mower, Answer No, Tick
Q2 do I have a purpose for this mower, Answer No, Tick
Q3 do I have room in the shed for this mower, Answer No, Tick
So with all the boxes Ticked you grab the mower and take it home !
