Very interesting indeed!
I did think it was a bit of a bitsa.

So this one was made in the late 60's to early 70's.
Is it possible that Scott Bonner manufacturing retrofitted the 45 clutch to the 33 Lawn King?
I know in my line of work that manufacturers take bits of one model and fit it to another.
However it will be interesting what the exerts say (not implying that you are not one your information is fantastic and very informative!)

This was my girlfriend's father's mower and he gave it to me but I have done some work to it before. Everything I have read and seen on your forums has said that the 33's had a belt drive as well as a chain but, I seem to remember when I took off the side cover it had 2 chains ill have to have another look as this was about 12 months ago.

One last question: Is the white colour on this engine the correct one? every other Kirby/Tecumseh i've seen is the orange/red colour.

Thanks again CyberJack all this information is fantastic!
