I really feel that the Model 45 was the beginning of a major cut back in steel usage to lighten up the machine as it was never intended to be a greens mower like the Supercut was with all it's cast iron side plates, thus why many folks that get a Supercut and think this is going to set their world on fire soon find that it's just way too heavy and cumbersome to manoeuvre around a domestic garden and also the drive system was basically an in or out system, thus why the hair trigger drive on the 45 was such a hit with the domestic market .............and still is to this day.

I live a 24 Hour lifestyle, but every now and again I seem to fall asleep, well at least that's what my wife tells me.
