G'day Speedy & Aussietrev
It's rare to see these Tiller-Mowers nowadays.
Originally powered by Kirby engines they first appeared in the mid-1960s,
but did stay in production until about the mid-to-late 1970s. They were
not part of the Rover Range when Rover became Gilson distributors.

The first Briggs fitted were 10 Series 4hp, but later machines had the 13 Series
5hp. This one appears to have had a short motor fitted at some point. So it
could very easily be a 4hp starter on a 5hp motor. The air cleaner and
muffler are not original for this model.

The motor was mounted via a bayonet fitting. They were not great sellers.
I do hope this one is saved - even if it no longer has the cultivator head.

Thanks for sharing this one Speedy.
