Hello, my name is John and I live in Sydney. I own two Scott Bonnar 45s. One is a 14"and have just recently got a 17". Both are working but I always like fiddling with them.
The 17" needs a bit of work, particularly to get the motor to idle slower as it seems to rev too high.
Looking forward to learning more.
Regards
John

Hello Johnando

A warm welcome from me too.

If you own 45's, then ODK is the place.
For info. on uploading images click HERE.
A good place to start every visit is 'Active Topics' (from top menu).

The Model 45 is SB's most famous residential reel lawnmower.
It's trigger landroll clutch made it way above any thing else
on the market at that time. Fully restored, they will serve you
a lifetime.
