Hi to B_2, CyberJack, Mal and ODK members,
B_2's machine could be considered as a transitional model, manufactured by Rover-Scott Bonnar in the Rover factory in Eagle Farm, Brisbane, Qld.

After the take-over of SB by Rover Mowers (Australia) which happened in 1980, the SB factory at Thebarton, Sth Australia was then mainly concerned with filling all the export orders prior to the factory closure in 1983.

B_2's model, type and code on the Briggs has that engine being manufactured on the 29th May 1981 in the USA and then freighted to Rover...making his machine a late 1981 early 1982 model. wink
cheers
