Nothing wrong with its looks MF - especially compared to the garish Victa Thunder
Back when mowers were designed to cut and catch - not a compromise for looks.
Was in Bunnings this afternoon (my apologies to Norm if he reads this - the bloody tap has started leaking again, needed a cartridge) and looked at the new mowers coming in.
In a few years, Norm will like the little Chonda's that are on the Cheetah - 127cc, Primer carb that takes a Briggs Quantum bulb, top mounted foam filter (no expensive hard to get Sanli paper ones).
Might be good for when the Lawn beetles run out - although a few cc smaller, so will have to throw on a 4 blade set up and see how it goes. Weird thing is the dipstick isn't a screw in - it just pops in and out like a car one
Worth noting we have SFA in the way of new petrol mowers due to freight issues (melb to perth supposedly - more like Goungzhou to Australia).
Ryobi, Homelite trimmers, Masport or Victa Petrol anything.
Eg - this is the only 'Victa' on Bunnings website.

All the more reason to keep old Rovers going
