Bigted & NormK, I'll third it being a good score. I wasn't the least bit concerned at the missing handles. You don't often find these now. I got cross at a mate of mine recently after he described finding one similar to this but didn't grab it for me because he wasn't sure I wanted yet another mower. I made sure he never repeats that folly again lol.
Thanks for clarifying it's original BT.


Ahh, if only victa had kept producing the thumblatch catcher series, they would be in better shape today!
