OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Repairs and Maintenance Questions on Walk Behind Lawn Mower Frames Four Stroke Lawn Mower Frames Scott Bonnar Identification - 520?

Hi all,

New to the forum, never thought I'd be on a hobby related forum on lawn mowers, or at least not for another 20 years!

As it turns I have my dad's old mower and although it is going alright now, it could probably use a bit of TLC before things do brake or rust out. Has some sentimental value so I'm trying to start off by finding out the exact model and year.

Its a Scott Bonnar "Cabana", with a Briggs & Stratton 3HP motor. From all the googling (that heads back to this forum), I can see its probably a 520 series, but I can't pick the year as it does not have the plastic wheels and the folding point of the handle is aluminum with "Cabana" on it.

I have a couple of pic from a phone camera.

Need to track down a throttle lever eventually.... Wheels are getting pretty smooth/worn..... Luckily the catcher is in reasonable nick... I assume the frame is alloy as its not rusted, tho the handle brackets are starting to....

Cheers
Ben
