Hello Paul,
That's good news.
It's odd that there was no thrust pad there.
The original one would have been bronze with a fibrous washer.
That's a nice advert from Willingworker too.
1960 was the intro date for the Model 33. I have not, as yet, been
able to establish exactly when. My records date to September,
suggesting the Model 33 was introduced for the 1960-61 season.
Such a Bonnie mower!
