Hello Grumpy,
It's a broad church we minister to
I would take it though, that we don't disagree with the 'idea' of twin rails.
After all, the rails just replaced the iron or steel rods, or tubes, that used to
connect mower side frames together since 1830. Perhaps a more robust specification
of the thickness or design of the channel would have made all the difference
down the rail road...
In any case, here's a story that you might find somewhat amusing:-
In a forum - possibly this one - many years ago, a member said this:
"I heard a rumor (sic) that the SB 430 and 590 are slightly different because both
brother's (sic) had different opinions on how it should work. Hence they still
have most of the same parts and cutting width." That the
Diplomats were released in
1976,
Scott Bonnar retired in
1947 and sprung
his mortal coil in
1961; and
Mick Bonnar did likewise in
1975, seems problematic
for the veracity of the rumour. If only the rumour involved
Sid Bowditch as well; it
would have made perfect cow yard confetti.
All very interesting.-------------------------------
