OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Finding and Swapping Rare Finds & Donations Pace Forward Lawn Mower

A friend of mine found this for me today, it's going to need some work but should live again.
Any help and information would be appreciated:-)

WOW, a restorer's dream lol!! I hope you can resurrect him..

I will MF, I have dealt with worse rust :-)

G'day Paul and M-F
Whatever the condition, this one must be saved.

The rarest of the 1960's Paces, and one of the last before Pace
was axed by its owner, Victa.

The Forward is as rare as it is novel.
It was the last roto-roller made here ...
that's right: a rotary with a rear roller ... and rear catcher!

This will be one to follow - as an historically significant AUS lawnmower.

Amazing find Paul!! Can't wait to see what you can do to it!

Much like one of these.

So do you think it could do 88 mph ?

Cheers,
BB.

It needs a flux capacitor first, which might be easier than finding a catcher for this Pace mower!!

Sure would.


Cheers,
BB.

Here are two other Forwards for reference, note one has a cable to engage drive and the other and mine appear to be fixed in place with a rod?

Started cleaning up things to see what needs to be done, paint is quite good.

2 models, Rollermatic and Self Propelled. I wonder what the difference is, a parts diagram would be great to see
