This what your after? Ive got a lot more,mostly 35 49 and 720 there are 18 listings just for 720 variants! Ill try and add more when i can

Thanks very much Mal, you're a wealth of information! Up until this morning I only had 2 model listings for 720's.

Any info that fills in the blanks will be very much appreciated and it'll be great to have it all in the one thread for future reference.

Michael

No worries Michael...Youve taken on a mammoth task,but yeah its efforts like this that make it so much easier for members to reference and research their models correctly.

This is a gem for the archives...Well done Mate!

Hopefully someone knows the HP rating for the 8.5 4ST and 11.4 2ST kirby engines,as I also have listings for,

Model 49,
KAV87 2 ST
K6.5 4ST

Model 720,
K8.7 4ST
K11.3 2ST

Horsepower ratings for these will be great for your Register if anyone has them as I have not come across them in my listings so far. Im thinking the K6.5 is the 2 HP variant,which should make the 11.3/4 around 4 Hp? Anyways see what you can find:)

You want Images for this Register also Michael?

The more the merrier mate, any pictures or information will help. I've got photos of most of the Model 45 range, just need to sort through them and get them up in some sort of order. Thanks again

Hi to Rolla and Mal,
Here is some interesting descriptions of the various models of the Scott Bonnar Model 17 Supercut. These were all manufactured at the Thebarton (formerly Southwark) factory in South Australia.


All good stuff...

Chased up another vintage SB brochure, some more great info

Hi Michael, and thanks for posting some great info there...It is great to get some extra info on the particular models, but also what the colour schemes were for that era. Well done mate,

What about the Scott Bonnar Model 46 460369 scarifier?

How much would a Model 46 Scarifier be worth in good condition, I would think pretty rare?
