Jack, I will give you a very brief outline of the email that got lost.
1954 JAP 80 powered LP advertisement - 1953 start of Boundy Manufacturing, formerly John Boundy Diesels (1952). I assume all design and development started in 53 prior to marketing and distribution in 54. The JAP model was also advertised in 1956.

The Hurricane engine I have to research. The LP advertisements over the years show variations either in the model(s) or their class - standard vs Super or what was left in a dealers sales room. I find it problematic to try to date models via advertisements, since the air filters varied as did the year of publication of the ads.

The Cub and Scout sold from 56 onward until sold out. The Scout 18 inch cut had a 4 height adjustment with no visible mechanism over the chassis as shown in your LP photo. A photo of the coil and condenser should be attached to this reply this time.

Vic Gov gazette shows that Boundy Industries was dissolved in 1973 and I believe that John Boundy died on Aug 31, 1967. I assume that the company ceased operation around 1963/64.

Question: Did JB commence the sale of the new model LP (Gold Cheetar)at the same time as the Cub and Scout? I assume it did - most expensive in the "Lawn" range and referred too in ads for the Cub and Scout as the super model (Google articles). This seems consistent with date of publication of articles on the 2,000 pound LP golf tournament.

All said and done, the history is minimal and scattered and a collection of everything in one location can help interpretation and story telling over time.

Thanks Jack for your interest and reply.
