Hi CyberJack, Bonnar Bloke and Sir Chook
Apologies for the delay in getting back to you all.
The internet is indeed a wonderful thing! without it I wouldn't have found you guys!
The first picture is definitely the mower that I have. This auction house usually deals with deceased estate etc. The second one, my girlfriends dad said that he saw it there (He frequents this place often) and said that it was no where near as good as the one that I now have. He goes pretty well every week but hasn't seen any Scott Bonner's since.
The pic of the old advertisement is fantastic thanks heaps for digging that one up!
The video is something I have never seen before I did go through all of the other Bonner vids that I could find on youtube and the blade adjustment and clutch removal ones were great too!
Ill post some more pics of the front and transmission cover decal's if you need me to do so with a ruler in the pic for scale let me know and i can arrange that too.
I did also wonder why every other 33 I have seen has had a HK25 on it and not a HK30 too but if it was made in the early 70's then could that not explain the bigger motor?
All this information is fantastic though! The only other thing I can't help but wonder is why the clutch body and cone is painted the same colour as the rest of the mower. Unless this thing has had a complete respray already once in its life. but judging by the paintwork's age it really doesn't look like it has.
If you want me to post any more pics of anything let me know.
Cheers guys!
