Thanks Norm. I didn't know that - only thing is he's a long way from myself - I'm near Coffs Harbour and it appears he's well south of Sydney. Transport costs for that distance would likely make any buy pretty sketchy.
Yes, I'm wary about taking on another 'bird with a broken wing' project - I've had enough of those with my last couple of mower buys. So this time around I'm happy to pay a fair premium for something thats working and will continnue to do so for the foreseeable future.
Much thanks again for the info - if other folks have ideas or feedback it's very welcome.
