Yeah absolutely and very sad they wind up in the scrap. A mower built to last a man his lifetime. And then his son too

Put another couple hours on the runner VC mustang today. I found I've left my tools at work so could only get the cover off and the starter sorted on the fixer. The spark lead has been cut off way up by the cowl. I could probably get it running but now I can turn it over the bearings definitely need done. It sounds pretty manky. Better get some bearings n bits ordered up
