Hi steve, this machine is in brilliant nick for it's age, is it the same model as your other machine? It would appear to be late '60's-early 70's with the Kirby Tecumseh, prior to the 2.5HP Briggs that were fitted in '74.
The cylinder reel is different also to the later Scotties, in that yours appears to be champhered up to the edge (or perhaps hollow ground?) where the later reels have a straight edge.
Plenty of meat in this one tho!!
Steve,
on a good score there, mate
