pics probably didnt work

What I am trying to convey is that if a inexperienced lunatic like me can put some info together. Msybe some other more learned collegue could correllate and document info that is offered in so many differnt forums that it is hard to find. now im not one to point the finger so i wont
There is your answer HT6

????

What info do you want put together? You have some mowers and numbers, but no explaination...

If your trying to compile serial sequences, they are well documented from Rotomo to Model 5 Series 3, and if I'm correct Blumby is finding out the Sequence paterns in the series 60 and 70 series machines.



I have been working on enhancing the Model 4&5 Series and sheerline. When Im happy Ill post my info one day.

Its up to you to find the sequences of the models you want to identify, by researching as many examples you can until you find a uniform pattern. This will involve you looking at 100s of like models...

This takes years of research as no records exist, so We need to be certain our info is correct before we put up a concise serial sequence Archive....

Soooo.....Please BE PATIENT!!! :)

Thank you for your reply.
I do realise that years of research is needed to compile a comprehensive record of motor numbers, I had a thought in my brain while i was looking into it.

I appreciate your work man, didnt want to stand on toes.
I have a lawnmower for that.
engine no XXXXXXXX its on a XXXXX.

Sean,

Are you looking for members to post a pictures of machines and corresponding serial numbers?

If so (And this is just my thought) If you have time and patience for such a huge commitment then perhaps pm's to you would be the best way to go. That way you could then use the info to compile a list. You would need to be careful to ensure that the engines are original to the particular base. All too often now older machines have had their engines replaced either with a different one altogether or a newer/older version resulting in a serial number seemingly out of sequence. Manufactures may also have changed the engines under warranty either on a small scale like one or two machines or a large scale like the victa twins.

A mammothly huge but worthwhile project to dedicate the rest of your life and lives of your children and your childrens children and your childrens childrens children to and well I could go on but you get the idea.

Maybe pick ONE model, get all the numbers and photos of that model then move onto the next. You can't compile a list without an enormous amount of data. That kind of data and photos in the compilation process would clog up the forum.

Of course I've never even thought about possibly maybe tinkering with the idea of compiling a list one day.

If you do go ahead with this project I wish you luck and it could really benefit future generations. I want all my machines to be given to a museum one day for record keeping as we have already lost FAR too much of our engineering history due to thoughtless destruction. We need to save what we have left. This is OUR history and what a sad thought that when this generation dies off all that will be left is pollution and landfill showcasing what a disposable society we have become!

mate i realise it is near on inpossible. there is so many places to look. i have no experience with this but find it curiously interesting. I may just sit under my rock and look into it. i have written so much about it on a4 now i get lost. thanks for the advice will just research my machines. and mow my lawn with my twin at midnight to calm me down a bit
thanks for your thoughts mate
