OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Repairs and Maintenance Questions on Walk Behind Lawn Mower Frames Question On Scott Bonnar Cylinder Mowers Vintage Scott Bonnar BSA Engine

Hi Craig and Dave,
Craig, a warm welcome to OutdoorKing, its great to have another Scott Bonnar owner on board.
Dave, thanks for posting the pics... this really shows the similarities between the SB/Morrison and the Victa Imperial. Both the SB/Morrison have the 'Ransomes' cylinder reel unit fitted; however the Victa Imperial had a different design of cylinder reel.

Here's a pic of the Victa reel design:

As opposed to this SB Morrison here:


Joe Carroll mentioned that Morrison took over the Imperial design.
In 1973, the New Zealand company, Challenge Corporation Ltd, acquired Scott Bonnar (Australia)
Hence the connection with Morrison Mowers.
Through my research I have not been able to find a source of spare parts.

Once again Craig,
