If he's got no wriggle room on price they might sit around for a bit. Will be interesting to see.
I'd noticed the steel deck but dismissed it immediately as being a 'Dad n Dave' installation. Closer inspection and it looks too good a job for that- looks factory/machine built! Maybe they did mess about with a steel deck for a time? Or could it be retrofitted off another brand of machine?
If it is a factory steel deck that machine is worth a bit more for the rarity?
Looks to me like they have both seen a lick of paint at some point of their life, Also not the very different levers on the red one, especially the extra one for the cutter deck clutch next to the park brake.
Thanks Nath, I will let my mate know. Another thing I have been thinking about for some time, in my mates situation mowing around these trees, the 2 wheel drive presents sharp turning problems, what if we removed the keyway from one side of the axle and just allowed one wheel to free wheel with plenty of grease on the shaft? any thoughts?
Ok thinking about it I doubt my mate would be able to get on and off these, I think we will have to chase something rear engined so he can step through to get on it.
hi all, prd the red one is a supa swift all orig, as present owner purchased it from original owner,it is a different beast that's for sure, nath paint is orig on both machines,i spent a long time going over these, present owner has made side chute(good job) and built tool box for the yellow one,he is handy with the tools,he is selling off some stuff (to keep her of indoors happy is my guess)... no meat on the bone for me to flip so i will watch wait and see, cheers
Gml, the difference in paint colour on the tool box makes sense now. The supaswift is a bit more interesting to me now given that it's branded as such, is in great shape (original paint), and has that deck......
Nath, Thanks for posting the photos. I was struggling with trying to do same but apparently the file size of a screen shot meant I was part way through trying to reduce the file size so the forum would accept it. I'm a bit of a Luddite.
The paint overall does look genuine, it was just the seat & steering wheel on the yellow one that threw me.. Probably a good thing i'm not closer, they would both be mine if they were!
There was one listed locally to me a couple weeks ago, at first for $1000 then he dropped it to $500, I couldn't do it though, It was a yellow one painted red, had a G200 among other issues..
