I have now stripped down the base and luckily managed to remove all the parts, now I have hours of der using, repairing and painting ahead of me.
The base is very good, the adaptor plate for the Villiers Torquemajor is behind it
I have found green paint under the blue, original colour but I feel that this model may have been over painted blue from factory to help with sales as the green was very unattractive. I have seen three mowers the same showing green through the blue. Here is the four stroke version in green with a blue catcher
I think I will go with the blue.
