OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Repairs and Maintenance Questions on Walk Behind Lawn Mower Frames Question On Scott Bonnar Cylinder Mowers What model is this Scott Bonnar?

Hi grumpy, I spoke to Grant (willingworker) this morning to try and glean a little more info on the Model 65 Scotty and on the manufacturing details. Unfortunately, he only has a manual for that model and could give me no further info than I have already, which is scant.

On further research this morning, I have learned that after the Scott Bonnar business was taken over by Rover in 1980, that certain model 'industrial' mowers were discontinued. However, the Thebarton factory in South Australia did not close until 1983, so the Model 65 Scotty may have soldiered on till then. There is no reference to the 65 ever being manufactured by Rover.
Here a pic, not original colour scheme, but shows the covers. Note the chain case is not alloy but pressed steel.

Note also, on Michael's machine, the catcher attachment rails seem to be missing.
Not a good buy that one!
