Your most welcome Grumpy:)Hahahaha Ty that was a great sales pitch!.As far as I know these things were so touchy,they hated even getting their little wheels damp,even the dew on the grass would make them Sneeze.But seriously As Ive been told by a few the engines were strong and very reliable.It was all the fault of the electrics,the main part which was the basis for most of its radical claims.I guess its the same for cars.Nearly every car is good for 100,000 kms.Then the real test begins,and truthfully most of the so called Big Names and "Cars of the year" are the ones that fall to pieces.Guess when you have to come up against Victa you got to do everything you can to sell a mower:)On that note,I am still curious in my own mind,SB was quite a large runner.Eg in 1964 they had approximately 13 models/variants on the market as well as 6 state branches.Why do so many reel mowers of this period exist today and almost next to no rotary mowers?Did one keep the other afloat in order to be viable?Since the name SB was generally asociated with reel mowers,were their rotaries overlooked in favour of a very Strong,tried and true ICON such as VICTA?
Any Ideas most welcome:)
