Thanks AVB. Yes, from what I found Seers marketed this mower under their own label for a few years.
And Grumpy, thanks for the link. I am a member at MTF and know the mowers are well regarded, with many people preferring them to the Honda self propelled for commercial work. It's just a shame Kubota have such a poor reputation for after sales service and spares. They have had three different agents in my area in three years and none of them have ever actually carried parts themselves. The problem with buying a secondhand one from ebay is no warranty and no idea if it is actually a good engine or on its last legs. This one I have has done very little hours, I bought it secondhand from an old couple that had a lawn the size of a postage stamp, just unfortunate the coil went as it always started first pull and ran like a dream before that.
