G'day wce & CyberJack,
It's good to hear this example is still going strong and packing grass into that louvred catcher.
Why does the Turner Valiant base look different to the one above? The arch way extends around the front in the illustration but not so with the one pictured in this thread. Turner seemed to be that bit better than the mass appeal Victa offerings of the time, much like Pace was, though the Victa was arguably better than what they offered later on with their steel decks.


Ahh, if only victa had kept producing the thumblatch catcher series, they would be in better shape today!
