Hi to
Mike,
Rolla and
ODK members,
Unfortunately, there is no rhyme or reason to the numbering sequence of Scott Bonnar mower numbers.
One thing is for sure, they do not run sequentially (ie. they do no start at 0001 and continue on) They may have been more of a batch numbering system..but we will probably never know as very few records exist.
The best way of dating a Scotty now, is by the date of manufacture of the Briggs engine (Model, Type and Code) stamped into the metal air cowling.
Unfortunately, Kirby-Lauson (Tecumseh) did not have this system in place...
Hoping this helps,
