I have a SB45 17" that was completely rebuilt by MozPartsOz at Marion, SA, Greg is a fantastic guy, love the SB45, so simply.
However, I saw a Rover Kensington 17L in very good condition that has the 118cc Loncin 4 stroke and purchased it for $1100. That may seem a tad expensive but the decider was that it included:
1. New replacement belts 2. Dethatcher QC cartridge (new $618) 3. 10 Blade QC cartridge (new #1032)
both in VG condition.
You see, I was thinking of buying a scarifier/detatching mower and was thinking if I like the Rover/Allett Kensington 17L as much as the basically new SB45 17", I'll purchase the Allett 17" QC scarifier cartridge and sell the SB45 17".
It would hurt me to sell the SB45 but really couldn't be bothered removing the reel cutter and replacing with scarifier reel, then changing back to mower.
