This is a Model 4 base I have. (Since Donated it to a fellow member for his Restoration project).

Now this mower I got many years ago,and was seeminlgy just a basic model 4. I stripped it down for restore and never got to it,and all the parts were put under my bench and forgotten.
Upon pulling it out and checking for cracks before I gave it to the member,i noticed the clear wear marks on the front axle extensions of the base.

The engine with this mower is 128,--- which is almost certainly in the Automatic Serial run. So it appears all this time My little model 4 plain jane once started life as an Automatic.

The point of this post is so you can see the wear marks from the front flap rod that have worn into the alloy over time,and also confirm our highest Automatic Example..... This is a very accurate ways to tell if it once had the Predicta set up.

As this is sandblasted you can see the groove reasonably well,but Generally you would see no paint a clear groove and rust marks from steel on alloy. This would not appear on a plain model 4 mower.

So when your checking out you model 4 and it falls in the serial range we are reasearching, 110,000 to 128,000 definate. And 128,000 to 148,000 unconfirmed. (Its the latter serials we are looking for mostly,) please let us know if you or someone you know has these numbers.
