Now this is called thinking outside the box. A new style of tensioner for the SB model 45 Series 2 ONLY at this stage as the Series 1 has the Chain Case attaching screw thread incorporated within the tensioner mechanism. I've been told that the Series 1 is on the way.
$55 all up with postage included.
Now that's pretty good.

I live a 24 Hour lifestyle, but every now and again I seem to fall asleep, well at least that's what my wife tells me.
It was just a plastic guide block that was adjusted outwards to take up the chain slack. The colour on that refurbished Model 45 is a metallic version of Scott Bonnar's Hammertone Apple Green which was used from around 1977 until production near ended in Adelaide. There was another darker oddball green that was used right at the end of the Thebarton factories life but there weren't that many Reel mowers made anymore like they used to be.
Cheers, BB.
Check out the photo below as it shows how the Original Series 2 Tensioner looks.

Ooh I see. That IS an improvement. That Apple green hammer tone looks to be a good match for the green VC Mustang base from the 1970s.
Ahh, if only victa had kept producing the thumblatch catcher series, they would be in better shape today!
