Greetings. I have been watching for a while. Bert recommended that I seek out the real oil here rather than LW as ODK it is closer to home. Makes sense....
This is my first post.
I have been looking out for a dedicated mulch mower for a while. I know of the steel chassis Bolens but an alumium Victa or Masport was what I was seeking.
Then I came upon a Rancher with a B&S 5hp Quantum.
Quite a tidy looker, one owner (said), all stainless, 20 inch cut. Mig not TIG welded.
I have an older Steelfort aluminium chassis mower with the Honda 120GXV- no catcher.
The Steelfort handle and method of attachment is so much like this Rancher that I have a suspicion that it could be Steelfort (?)
I called Steelfort and spoke with a bloke who has been there since 1999; he had no recollection of a full stainless chassis from the factory. Mind you, he may be a newcomer AND not much interested
The attached image is not mine but identical to mine (image courtesy of the local auction site)
Is anyone familiar with this mower and can you offer information on it?
Cheers.
