My friend was asked if he knew of anyone who might want a recently replaced mower which had always started and run well but had got old. This Rover Combat turned up here this morning - with a catcher in excellent condition.

Throttle cable broken, plenty of rust in the deck, front axles wired on, blades far past worn out.

Take a look at the "filter" ! It fell to pieces when taking it out of the cover. Perhaps never been cleaned ? The plug wasn't much better.
After some TLC it is now purring nicely, cable all sorted, will get a new set of blades soon.

I really like the red cable tie, managed to remove and replace it intact after re-jigging the cable.

Any idea of how old this Rover is ?
