MF, its a shame the Commando PT deck looks like it has a rust hole near the height adjuster, maybe (hopefully) its just a leaf.

My 1985 Commando is one of my favourite mowers - so far never fails to start first pull (once took 2) and the governor picks up absolutely wonderfully

The President 3000 is now a $650 mower new, I am betting Converse will be learning how to clean the completely non-adjustable briggs carby.
