I know it's an older post but this should help identify it. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.outdoorking-forum.com.au/forum/uploads/usergals/2014/07/full-5048-17233-720.jpg) I wished I had of seen it I would have attempted to get it.
Here for a good time,not a long time.

Hello all!
Yes, it's funny how old posts can be revived as new information is discovered. These Lawn King rotary machines are not common.
This is the SB 720 Store Brand machine - The Lawn King. When I say 'Store Brand', I mean cosmetically changed 720s offered to a few large chain retailers. Change the colour and the model name, and SB could sell to bulk purchasers at a cheaper wholesale price, but still keep the small 'bread and butter' agencies happy - who could sell SB 720 branded machines at a higher retail price.
The engine was a Kirby K11.3 2-stroke.
All very interesting. ----------------------------- JACK.

Scott Bonnar obviously made more than one style of Lawn King Rotary. Here's some more from an auction site (photos supplied by Bonnar Bloke). ![[Linked Image]](https://www.outdoorking-forum.com.au/forum/uploads/usergals/2015/03/full-7392-20693-full_5156_19769_sb_rotary_b.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://www.outdoorking-forum.com.au/forum/uploads/usergals/2015/03/full-7392-20694-full_5156_19771_sb_rotary_c.jpg)

Hello vcomm,
Yes, a nice, traditional Model 720. 1970s, with a Kirby-Tecumseh 2-stroke. Quite a good engine. I'm not sure what made it 'Deluxe' - probably the decal saying ...'Deluxe'.
Thanks for sharing on ODK. ----------------------------------- JACK
