Well as they say in the classics...I'll be buttered on both sides....Here is the proof that proves that the twin railer machines were produced as early as 1973....
I have been researching Scott Bonnar history, trying to make sense of the Serial numbers and Model numbers, since 2005...almost 10 years, and this is the first time that I have be shown absolute proof of a date earlier than December 1975 of a twin railer...albeit a 14" machine which seem to have a history all of their own....eg. they started life as a solid decker with a 2.5HP Briggs (Silver/Grey Colour) and then reverted to KirbyLauson/Tecumseh engines....My question is ...WHY?
As BB has suggested, were the 14" machines the very
first twin railers, maybe as a prototype, for the 17" and 20" twin railers to come in December 1975???
My world has now gone a little topsy turvey because of this revelation,,,,but, I
love been proven
wrong, because this is how we gain knowledge and learn new things on this wonderful forum, OutdoorKing.
I can't believe that in
10 years...someone, until Gizmo came along with this exciting find;...could not have said..."You are out by 2 years" on your date of the introduction of the twin rail Scotty.....It beggars belief!
All I can say is, thankyou Gizmo for posting this info, you have proven the point that things are not all they seem to be...and I very much thank you for that....(as he shrinks off under the carpet to bed....)
Good Stuff ....lets have more debunking of "Known Facts"....Please, bring it on!
