OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Finding and Swapping Tip & Curb Side Finds A few recent additions

Her are a few recent additions, and their plans.

Waltons Series 70 MKIII Low Arch

This one will fall victim to my 'No Storebrands' rule, that I use to keep the collection size down (to 70) the engine will be donated to my MKI mustang project (below) and base components will go to the cortina 2 project (Also Below) the actual alloy plate is good, so once stripped back, it will need a new home.

VC Mustang (Series 70 MKIV)

The engine on this one is quite buggered, and will be removed and stripped for what can be salvaged (head, magneto and crank case) the base will be fixed up, and a good Dress cowl sourced, and this will be converted to the first series of VC-Mustang, with Series 70 MKIII engine (G3 carby)

Series 80 Tilt-a-cut

I was originaly considering converting this to series 70 MKII (G3 Metal carby) but decided i should allow a space in the collection for a series 80 engine (My vortex is the token powertorqu) so this one will be fixed right up, and an alloy series 80 side-starter will be fitted.

1969 Cortina

This mangled wreck came with a G2 carby, and will be rebilt as a home for that carby, I have 2 other cortina's, however these have through-deck box exausts, rather than rocket mufflers, so I am usure if they will become the new home for My G2.

Kubota 4-stroke Pump

This is running, but is a little rough, so it will be cleaned right up, and tuned back inj, there is some slight damage to the alloy pump housing, which i will be looking at too.

The Frankenstein

This one will be donating it's engine to another project, and a suitible replacement will be fitted (series 70 MKI 160cc) the base will stay as is, but a few more modifications will be made overall, like comfort grip bars, new tank, and coke bottle air filter.

Where on earth did you get that tilt a cut and pump from? That waltons looks like one that I got from Tiny's a while ago too

Shame the good fuel cap on the waltons went missing isnt it?

I already have the patent for the coke bottle air filter! remember I showed you my prototype! You only need to make the brick sized muffler too!

I would make the muffler, but this one already has such an interesting one, perhaps for my own frankie.

To avoid patet issues, i will use a pepsi bottle.

The fuel cap on the walton's is good again now, the new one came from the same place as that tilt'a'cut and the pump, some fella out west by the name of Joe, I don't know if you would have heard of him Joe.

Interesing projects.
I think i might have a good red Zip here that would work on that store brand if you didnt have silly rules.

The mustank Mk4 id have the handles up, the rubber elbow wont like being bent up like that.

My rules will only make another mower live on!!!

I normally wouldn't bend the elbow like that, but it's not able to be saved, massive hole underneath.

I sear I don't know where the fuel cap went.Honestly.

Good old tyre rub.


Store brands must die so victas live one.

Not all, and this one is making it hard, as it is in such nice condition.

I'll be keeping the cowling with the base, so whoever takes it can rebuild it if they like, or i might rebuild it myself with a series 70 MKIV engine and G4 carby, I just need the MKIII engine for something at this point!

What are you doing with the Cortina 2 base? Is it repairable? As I may want it.

Mate, you can have it, but i highly doubt it's any good.

I'll bring it in tomorrow and show you, you can make your won call!

I think you should show off the recent briggs powered edition. Kicking myself now for leaving the nice 4 stroke jetfast mower behind that would have gone nice beside my jetfast Ederle noone has seen yet

Was that at tiny's?If so do you want one of use to go and get it?

It was there, Umm, if your in the area it would be cool, dont make a special trip though, another will turn up not like they are rare as hens teeth yet

Well I guess I could.
