Hi Deejay and thanks for the reply.

If you have never seen or heard of one it's no wonder I couldn't find any reference or pictures of it on the internet.
I gave the ID plate a light cleaning and it is now quite readable. Model 40 14471

What you say about the bracket makes sense. It would be easy to tip the mower at such an angle that acid pours out everywhere.

Not being able to get a chatcher wont be the end of the world...maybe one will pop up one day.
EDIT: The catcher has been found in the back of the shed laugh

My Grandfather rescued this mower from his neighbour who was going to put it out for roadside collection. Thankfully it now has a new home.
