It is a good combination,alloy base and these mowers fitted with Briggs motors never get to wear the wheels out, unlike the 2 stroke Victas. Not sure how well the catcher would fit and stay on, thinking about it the Talon may fit the Masport base. The Powertorque is cocked off on a bit of an angle and I would like to know how they got the head to clear the front wheel adjuster bar
