Thanks Max, very interesting. I've not seen that type of quality machines when I was picking mowers off the street even though I plundered the leafy well-to-do Melbourne suburbs of Malvern, Armadale, Toorak, Kew, etc. on Hard Waste days.
My latest rescue was a Honda Buffalo HRU 194, probably the only one of my fleet of 20 runners which could be a Pool Room contender. I thought I had more than enough but the allure of a genuine Honda OHV for free was too much to resist. All it needed was TLC and it is doing an exceptionally good job slashing rough stuff, albeit a bit heavy to push uphill. The governor system works perfectly, something I usually disconnect on other machines.
