Naaa I reakon weve got it now...lols.
Yes the height adjust was the other issue.
Yep your spot on, the f61 looks to have the lugs also and correct Deflector.
I noted the base was poor in the image and added it as another different style.
Yes mate, Als base is identical to mine.
So as you say, with an F61 being more suited,This puts als macine even closer to the 4BIM and well within range of an engine intersection im thinking.
Since most mower models are denoted by chassis design Id say That als machine is F61 with the last of the GEB engine fittments and is/was more probably correct as sold.
Unless im mistaken, if Al looks at the rear of the base on top he may see a small pill shaped raised platform with the model no stamped in.
