NormK yes, despite spending more time then I would have liked working out how to make it work, it felt very gratifying when the jib was successfully done. Another I've saved from needless scrapping -that works.

Maxwestern it's in very good nick apart from a slightly bent axle that a shifter and hammer should sort out.
It revs at the right RPM with it's fixed throttle and runs very quiet for a motor mower. I won't want to sell her now! I even like the kill switch on the handles.


Ahh, if only victa had kept producing the thumblatch catcher series, they would be in better shape today!
