G'day Trev,
These do seem to pop up occasionally, but aren't common. Don't know of any Kiwi OPE forums, and the old Kingcat Mowers NZ website name now belongs to some used car yard...

However, there are Web archives of it from 2014 which have some manual downloads:

http://web.archive.org/web/20140624052058/http://www.kingcat.co.nz/ [you'll have to copy and paste this one]

- the 'Manuals' menu item will take you to archived PDF's. Look in the 'Older Models' section. Some of them are common to Cheetah and Puma models.

Also this dealer chain has an archive hidden away: http://www.agriquip.co.nz/products/product-manuals

And this Kiwi mob say they still offer Kingcat parts support: http://mes.sygnal.com/rideons/


It looks like there were two series of the Puma 1100; distinguished as 'light green' [late] and 'dark green' [early]. The brand/company seems to have gone through several changes of ownership, including some time as part of the Masport Group.

Cox Mowers does have a manual for one model in Oz, the 'Yellow Kingcat/Cougar Model 7301I', and it looks like they may have imported/distributed some other models.
Just to add confusion, Allpower Industries is listed as the Oz distributor on the flyers for the Leopard and Tiger models.

Cheers,
Gadge
