Hi to ODK Members and Guests,
Global moderator CyberJack has discovered this machine that has just been sold on eBay; it is enigmatic and an unusual find...an Scott Bonnar Craftsman... I have never come across one before, and we are most interested where it falls in the SB lineage.

We can from the pic, we can deduce this about it:
It is a 17" machine, manufactured in Thebarton, it possesses the Series 2 Model 45 chassis, so that puts its date of manufacture after December 1975....and that the engine has been replaced with the new inner clutch half to suit the PTO of the Tecumseh.

It has the pram handles of the Lawn King and appears to have been re-painted at some stage...It may not have...
It is a shame that we don't have a pic of the ID plate so we can see the model number.
We know that "Craftsman" was an MSSA brand...so was the machine a store brand...I think so. wink

Does any member out there have any further info on this enigmatic machine? we would like to know a lot more...
Here's the pic:
