Hi Bushy 260.
Thanks for the welcome.I read your reply a couple of days ago ,but wanted to check with the guy who sold me the Colt to confirm the engine question.
He tells me the chap who sold it to him put a new Honda 5 HP on it after the Briggs motor went west...so it is a replacement engine..not original
And I should clear up my reference to the label wear.All I can see is the dealer phone numbers on the plate ,but no serial numbers.I am going to assume it is just like the Colt in Barnfind's pics, because it has the same Hammered Blue paint and exact set of controls.
At least I know it's approx .age .The guy who sold it to me thought it was form the 50s !
I am still looking for a manual for her..if anyone can point the way.
Cheers
