Hi Deejay,
You've beaten me to the next question I was going to ask and that was about the loop attachments at the lower area of the RH handle bar mount point but as you've mentioned it is the receptacle for the crank handle.
My engine does have the rope winder and as such I never thought about starting it any other way. I must admit that the Supercut has opened my eyes and also my knowledge base on earlier Scott Bonnars as I've generally only mastered the Model 45.
One can certainly see how SB cut back on engineering costs and also made the machine much more manageable to the average home user by releasing the 45 and even now many people find the 45 a cumbersome machine to handle, well I guess they've never man handled a Supercut.
Once we've finished moving house and I've got my new workshop up and going this Supercut is going to be fully restored and brought back to its showroom state along with a few 45's I've got stripped down with all parts bagged up and boxed ready for rebuilding.
BTW thank you for the PM with those contacts for the Villiers engine, I must admit that a Honda would be far superior but it just isn't original and a good representation of our Scott Bonnar Mower heritage.
Cheers,
BB
