Serial # 747

I dismantled it in early 2020 with a view to restoring it, but then COVID happened, and realistically it does not look like I will ever get around to completing the project. It seems a shame to just dump it so I thought I’d offer it to someone who might like a project.

BEFORE YOU SAY YES, please read on to understand exactly what you would be getting.

Not realistic to ship it anywhere, so would have to be pick up from eastern suburbs Melbourne.

First the bad bits.
• When I say “I dismantled it” I really mean it. I dismantled it to the last nut and bolt, so it is in a million pieces.
• There is some damage: The crankshaft has a chunk taken out of one end. The damage was done when dismantling the Magneto from the crankshaft. Corresponding to that damage, the collar that mounts the Magneto wheel on the crankshaft is destroyed. I believe a skilled machinist could probably repair the crankshaft, and maybe fabricate a new collar.
• There is a piece broken out of the cast chain guard housing. (on the bottom of the casing, doesn’t affect operation)
• There is no catcher.
• Might be missing one of the drive chains.
• The wooden rollers from the front are pretty rotten.

The good bits:
• Not too many of these left
• Pretty complete (like I said, might be missing a chain)
• Was a working mower prior to being parked up and forgotten 30 years ago!
• I have lots of photos of the dismantle process that I can give you to help with the re assembly
• Mostly stripped of paint.
• I have a manual for the 98cc Villiers Mk2 midget motor

If you have further questions, let me know.

After learning so much from this forum and spending nearly 20 years repairing lawn mowers as a hobby, it's finally time to declutter my garage.

I have several boxes of used spare parts that I'd like to give away free to someone who can put them to good use. I'd much rather see them reused than end up in the next council clean-up.

Most of the parts are for Briggs & Stratton engines with diaphragm-style carburettors, including:

- Starter coils
- Plastic carburettors
- Fuel tanks
- Mufflers
- Air filter assemblies

There are also parts for a Rover Suzuki 2-stroke engine, plus some older Briggs & Stratton metal carburettors and fuel tanks.

Not shown in the photos, but also included, are plenty of old Victa snorkels and a number of plastic carburettors in decent condition.

I'd like to give everything away as a single lot, as-is.


Pickup is from Panania, in Sydney's South West.

If you're interested, send me a message.

Cheers,

Max

Will be going out for kerbside collection tomorrow afternoon, but I would prefer it went to someone who would appreciate it, rather than go to land fill. A great mower.
Also a 10 year old but never used or even started Tomahawk pressure blaster. Must take both.
Reply to this thread with time to collect if you want them.
