sean

Good to see that your bought some things off Kahla, wish i could have bought some!

Nice haul there Sean, Victa Department Store mower with the red base in amongst the 18's and in that last pic an Amplion on the far right.

Crikey, what are the odds of this occurring.

The mower on the left in Pic 4 is another Hurricane 4, as in THIS recent thread.

Oh wow! Paul! She was asking me about dates and prices for the mowers she wanted to sell, she never showed me the Department store victa, would have sold cheap... Gadge that threat is actually about the exact same mower! I told her i would get a name and hopefully a price in a few hours, in the end i said about $20 if it was seized.

That is an amazing haul. What are your plans now?

gday slash, good question, i am first going to write all the engine numbers down and add them to the numbers i already have and see if i can find some kind of pattern. the amp is going to get a bit of love before i do anything the red one. i dont know, didnt realise it was different. one of the 18s have a base with a different casting i dont know about and the rest, just get them all going for a start. do you need anything mate?

The seller is going to auction of what ever she didn't sell on my Facebook page soon (I think tomorrow) if anyone is still interested, or if sean has any regrets for leaving something behind, haha. Can't wait to see what you do with the mowers sean!

she said i could not have the pace or the cylinder mowers they were being held for someone. i dont see what i missed, what a nice lady, the cat even let me pat it

G'day Sean thanks for the offer but freight would be a killer. I'm down past Melbourne. I looked at the pics when Kye posted and was kind of relieved it was too far away for a road trip for me. I was just thinking to myself you've no doubt got a few projects in the garage and you've just picked up a retirement load of projects or maybe a few to move on to bankroll further projects. What ever you decide to do enjoy them. That's a sensational haul and great to see they're not on their way to china to be turned into some disposable made in China crap.

Haha slash, if it was closer to me we would have turned up with the Truck at 5AM and loaded up. That Pace looked very nice to me too Sean, i wish i was closer! These are my Paces, my favorite brand of mower.
Left to Right, Pace Rot-Mower (has original instruction booklet! ), Pace Super, Pace Prestige (i think) and Pace Special 2

what i dont understand is she said the hurricane worked then wound the tripstarter.?counterclockwise" pushed down and it turned over fine. does this mower work in that configuration?
sean

When i asked her about it she said it almost turned over, what does that mean??? did it turn half way? Not sure about the direction though.

Sean that is odd. Surely either the starter has dropped it's lunch. Unless the Hurricane use their own engines built to run backwards and if so they would use a left handed blade. I bet that's going to be hard to find!
