OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Repairs and Maintenance Questions on Walk Behind Lawn Mower Frames Question On Scott Bonnar Cylinder Mowers SB45 Restoration project

And so the mystery deepens......

On closer inspection of the chassis it seems that this mower was originally green. Also, it looks like to cowl and motor were both orange at some point. Were they producing orange motors as late as 81?

Another interesting point is that the engine codes seem to be in a different position on the cowl than where the diagrams posted earlier say they should be.

Unfortunately, there is no ID plate. I assume it was removed when the chassis was painted red.

So what does all this mean? Maybe it is a Scott Bonnar with a newer engine cowl. But what about the 2 piece roller?

Here are some photos showing what I have found.
