PART FIVE - Conclusion
The only significant change to the Domestic Range occurred with a cosmetic
makeover - Hammertone paint was used on the Models, 33, 40, and 43.

The Model 43 is the rarest - by far - of the three models.
It was flawed in having a single clutch to engage reel and roller.
Having said that, it was of a rugged design, with a complex transmission and
the very interesting SB 202 2-stroke engine.

The reality is, though, the range had no real commonality in design at a
time when reel mowers were being challenged by the rotary revolution. I'm
sure Scott Bonnar saw and understood this; and that a single new scalable
design was needed ...

It would take Scott Bonnar another few years to unify the domestic range
into one scalable model - the great Model 45s of c1968.

The rest is history.
