Sure does Blumbly,They Definately came both sides,I have both. And since it doesnt appear to discriminate between early or later models we had a few assumtions...one being for left and right handed operators. If you look at the HG 2 Stokes they have removale axles to swap sides,and with a barrel turn are an exact Mirror,where as the 4 stroke does not and only has its height adjuster on the left. A second theory was that since they used the Victa engine and cowl,maybee by some copyright or desire not to make them seem exactly the same as the Victa Utilities of the same period they switched sides to minimise similarities?.who knows.But the lefty righty theory thingy seems cool...
