Hello royboy69
I think the Rover lever is a red-herring.

This is a North American bagger mower from the 1980s, best guess.
I think the engine is a 10 Series or 13 Series.

Hopefully, a member will identify it.

Cheers

Hi all. Wow that looks foreign! Just another Briggs powered thingamajig.

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

Hi Max and all
That is a great article from Victa Cuttings.

I am proud to say I met Ced many times.
He was better know as 'Mr Briggs' in Brisbane.

His store was Air-Cooled Engines located in a small
side-street in Fortitude Valley.

He offered the largest range of Briggs and Stratton parts
in Brisbane in the 1960s and 1970s.

A real gentleman too!
