I appreciate the recording of these American machines, many of
which were extremely well designed, only let down by age and
availability of spare parts.

I see, more frequently, the case where the cutter deck is beyond
service, but the tractor is still good.

I feel we need some photos; for the members to offer a better opinion,
so your offer to supply them is appreciated. A photo(s) - in this case -
could tell a thousand words.

You say this is a twin blade deck, and it may be this was a well-speced
machine, placed above the Rover Rancher design.

Cheers

Yeah, you're right, whilst I may get some good info here, and I'm sure I will. My post is more to consolidate info and focus a forum for this series of mowers. I'm sure when we lock down the identity and align it to similar Victa's etc we'll get a thread going.
If I keep it I'll surely document and share the procedures and also give info to the larger public.
It was sold here retail so there must be more than one.
It's not made from tinfoil so, some probably survive.

They went broke, were bought out so they made mistakes, was this one of them??
