Thanks Guy's for the info.
Was there an optional catcher?
My mate who donated it said there might have been a canvas catcher????
This mower was sourced from and old guy in country SA, and after a good degrease it still has the original paint on the exhaust(seems to have done little work in it's time), compression seems good but has no plug lead, points are still there, so shouldn't be too much to get her firing.
Plan is to just get the baby going.
Seems there is quite a bit of laughter around the shed about this lawmmower collecting thing but hey, people keep dropping them off and they are old,stylish and have a motor...and I LOVE it
