OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Repairs and Maintenance Questions on Walk Behind Lawn Mower Frames Question On Scott Bonnar Cylinder Mowers SB 45 - kerly - My Scott Bonnar

Hi , I have recently purchased a SB mower from a crafty old fella who said it was regularly serviced and was ready to go to work on y lawn. The freshly applied paint that was not to carefully applied to the mower and engine might have been a clue to hidden problems. Anyway I'm keen to get it up to scratch. Not sure what I've got as there is no Scott Bonner I.D plate on it. If i can work out how to submit photos i will add these to the post. Any advice would be gladly taken and i have enjoyed reading the many other posts from Bonnerites helping each other to achieve their grass cutting nirvana. I hope I'm not interloping on the wrong site as I'm not very computer literate.

Hi Kerly,

It's amazing what people will do just to get a sale. I hope you got it at a really good price and not pay too much.

I'm going to have a stab in the dark and say that it was built around the 1977~78 mark.

Can you supply us with a few more close up shots around the engine mounting area, the inner mounting bolts area and not the outers. Also a have a look at the engine and see if you can decipher the numbers stamped on the cowling as in the photo below.



Also a photo of the area where the clutch slide onto the engines PTO shaft as I suspect some damage there.

Close up photos of the drive train. (with chaincase removed)

Tilt the mower back on it's handles and take some close up shots of the reel and bed knife contact area.

I'll look forward to the photos and we'll be happy to help you from there.

Cheers,
BB.

Thanks for the reply. I have posted pics on (New/Old Bonner 45? ) as I had incorrectly ambushed another thread. I will add to the photos as i take it apart and hope to find out from you experienced chaps, what I have got.
