Hi Darryl,

Thanks for your support regarding my intentions to fully restore the Supercut. As far as the catcher is concerned it's in fabulous shape apart from a bit of panel beating required. My son is an apprentice beater so I'm sure it will be a good piece to hone his craft on. Hopefully John can help with a replacement tank and mounting straps so that I can get the Villiers back to original.

One point I've noticed on some other pictures I've found on this site of other Supercuts is the rest mounts for the crank handle, mine has those mounts inboard of the right hand side while others have them outboard so that the handle could be easily hit as the mower passes shrubs and bushes etc.

The following shot is an outboard mount version of the crank handle

I live a 24 Hour lifestyle, but every now and again I seem to fall asleep, well at least that's what my wife tells me.
