Hi Damian and Mod Gadge,

Well all I can say is someone's got too much money. That's a $1000+ machine you've got sitting there and it's the very last variant / update of the Model 45.

There won't be a lot wrong with it with just some minor corrective work to be done as someone with no knowledge has been poking around in the carby area and done more wrong than right. I agree with Gadge that the linkage in question is not the correct shape and thus this would affect the governor and main butterfly relationship. Apart from that maybe a new plug and it should be good to go from that side of things. The other issues it might have will be Reel / Bed Knife scenarios, but that's just normal maintenance and nothing else. The powder coated finish looks to be rather good and it's not been sitting outside. This mower probably would've been built around the 2003~05 era and as previously mentioned was one of the last Rover Model 45's as this is indicated by the rearward facing clutch lever and plastic cover for OH&S concerns over a spinning clutch body.

All in all you've had the score of the month and I wish there were more of these incidences happening.

Cheers
BB.
