Good Evening ODK Members,

I have been on the lookout for a Lawn Scout for quite a while, they don’t seem to have been made in large numbers probably due to the similarities it shared with the Lawn Patrol. As chance would have it a friend tipped me off to one not to far from Brisbane being at Gatton.

It had been stored for a number of years and most of the chassis paint had been eaten away by possum urine, the tank and bars were in great condition.

I did get it running but it seemed a bit unhappy



There was a vibration up through the bars and it wasn’t easy to start, if I removed the muffler top and air cleaner it started fine. I figured the crank seals were dry and a bit worn but it did have compression. As I planned on restoring it I would also pull down the engine for a look through.
