Found this at the scrap yard yesterday.
I was so excited when i saw it that i nearly peed my pants.
Ive been wanting one for myself, seen a few on eBay priced a bit high and missed out every time.
Now ive got one.

Looks to be in pretty good shape.
Near new muffler looks promising.
Will need a few things done.
Not sure what i will do about a tank. I think its steel, i might just mount it up better and keep it. Might have a ride on tank here that will work. I do have some Victa tanks here, will have to look.
Havent looked at the motor yet. It turns over.

Is the disc a special disc just for the 550??
The hole for the missing blade is no good.

Mulch plug i had here, for a later power torque i assume. Might need a bit of massaging to make it fit.

Whats the clip meant to do??
Is the diff meant to have a diff action??? This thing does not like turning corners, the back axle is locked, both wheels want to turn the same.

Pretty happy with the $30 they slugged me for it.
