OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Finding and Swapping Tip & Curb Side Finds HELP?? What is this base for.

Hi all I picked up this base the other day.Thinking it was the same as my Cortina 2 (Which needs a base) I took it home only to find after looking at my Cortina 2 that is is similar but not the same.Does anybody know what it is.

What is different about it to your base?

Could it just be a different year cortina?

See on the left hand side it has some sort of hole there,mine doesn't have that.I mean yes I'll agree it is very similar that's why I crabbed it,but that is different.Isn't that more the base that your after?

No, the one I am after has the removable edge cover on the carby side, Like this:


And the early 60's circular logo, like this:


I beleive you may just have a different Cortina base, do you know what year your cortina is (do you have its serial?)

No that's where I'm kicking myself when I stacked the mowers up,or should I say after I stacked them realized I'd forgot to get all the numbers off them.I will some time this week,if the whether allows me.

I've seen those snap bar handles as far back as 63 models, I think they ran them for most of the 60's.

That base your trying to find.Is that a rare base? I'm not sure I have seen one like that brefoe,that takes a catcher and a side shoot.

It's not a side shoot, its an edge cutter, you remove the cover, and the blades run up the side of your fence, etc.

The did it on a number of them.
