Hi guys.
Have been looking around for quite a while now and have finally bought myself a nice little 45.
The model number is 45 - 12734. Any ideas on the age?
I'm guessing it's a later model - 80s maybe?
It seems to be in pretty good nik. Looks like the blades are nice and straight and have a bit of life left in them (about 24mm) but are due for a sharpen. The B&S 3hp looks and runs clean. The catcher is in good nik too. Everything looks original apart from what looks like a the engine side of the clutch housing and a new throttle cable/handle.
I thought it looked pretty good for $350. Heading out to have a closer look now and a bit of a fiddle. I will post up some pics later on tonight if I get a chance.
