G'day folks.

I've been running my own lawn mowing business in the Moreton Bay area since June 2016, which is slowly but surely building up.

I keep an eye out for "toys" along the way, and recently had a couple of interesting (to me) finds. One was an earlier model Cox Stockman ride-on that didn't have an engine. I've sourced a Briggs and Stratton 14.5 hp that I'm in the process of putting in it. Just need to source an engine pulley and spacer and it's ready to do some work.

The latest find was at a deceased estate garage sale the Saturday just gone, a Scott Bonnar 45.

It was buried under shelves and a number of newer cheapie mowers, and the catcher was under a large bird cage, covered in parrot poo!! I snapped it up ($50), got it home, cleaned most of the bird crap off, put fresh fuel in and it fired up. Runs very smoothly as well.

Is there any way of knowing it's age based on the model number plate, or any other details?

Cheers,
Dale.
