OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Finding and Swapping Rare Finds & Donations Scott Bonnar 35 with Lauson 4 stroke.

I drove past a house yesterday that I have driven past for about the last 2 years.The only difference this time was the fact that they had pulled down there old fence,leaving in perfect view was at least a dozen mowers sitting under a tree.So due to being at work couldn't do anything until this afternoon.Now due to them being placed under a tree and in knee high grass most of them were fairly roached out.
However I did manage to see one that caught my eye which was sitting on top of another mower closer to the back fence.The take down was on,it was removed from there and taken to a clear area.I then perused the rest and besides a rear catcher type Rover (With Briggs,Blue base)the rest was as I said before roached.Rusted corroded,seized all that bad stuff for mowers,basically just scrap metal is all there good for now.
So I went back and examined the Scott Bonnar model 35 that was found there.It was one of a couple that were there that still would turn over.
So a deal was made and in the boot and home it came.
Now I've never seen one like this before now I knew they had four stroke engines on some of them,but I've never seen one with a Lauson 4 stroke.
Here have a look for your self.

Unfortunately no starter and I don't think I have a spare one for it either.I have one I could pull off another mower to test,but I will have to find one now.

The guy was trying to tell me it hadn't spent much time outside,but clearly it has at some point.

It has the LV30 engine which is the same the Victa Four Star mower had.
Serial Number 069827.


The model number on the compliance type plate at the back is Model Number 35 12134.
I've not herd of this number before.If somebody has any documents sales brochure etc.I'd love to see them posted up.As I would love to know more about these ones.I have two other model 35's with the 2 stroke engine.So when restored all three will look great together.



Even though it has seen some sun it still has the writing on the top of cowl saying.Stand on this to start.

The height adjuster seems to be different than that on the 2 stroke version.
I will take some pictures of it during daylight hours and post them tomorrow some time.
So please any documents on this model or in fact on any Scott Bonnar rotary would be much appreciated.
Thanks for having a look at this different Scott Bonnar 35.
