You're right HT6, a bit bizarre, wife didn't know about the mower and assumed it was junk. She has thrown out stuff before that shouldn't have been chucked out, she just has a low tolerance for mess. Turns out dodgey isn't far from me and he is much more capable than me with Turners, he had the original paperwork and he has a few of these Turners so every chance he'll get it restored. I guess I shouldn't have washed and let it dry out the front but given Dodgey's assessment of it I wouldn't have been able to do anything with it. For the moment I'll stick to Victas and other mowers that I've got spare parts for.
