G'day Sean,

An absolutely flippin' beaudiful looking job!! Be very proud of it!

More than happy to pay the freight to have it sent up here to entice the rain gods if it will have the same effect smile

Cheers,

P.S. Did you end up doing anything with the TAD??

Thanks for showing us. You have certainly tidied it up and I like the flywheel and white paint on the underside. Hopefully you can get some repro decals for it. Will it see any use?



Ahh, if only victa had kept producing the thumblatch catcher series, they would be in better shape today!

thanks fellas. your kind comments mean alot.
i originally came to odk looking for advice on cockroach eradication, now i have over 80 mowers(cockies are long gone, they dont like 2 stroke mowers running in the house apparently)
I will run this when i get decals, after bolting it into the back of my ute for a week.
thanks again
i have done nothing with the tad, am still practicing
Sean

Should put shark teeth on it like they do to war planes - give the grass something to fear. laugh
