Hi all,
Came across this mulch plug yesterday and just wanted to know if anybody could help me identify it.
Thanks in advance,

Hi Ted

Fairly sure that is from a Rover of some description before they went plastic

Maybe an SP given size

G'day Ted and Tyler

I agree the mulch plug is for a Rover .

So just a few models

Forgot to add he stated that came up with the A10542 number, the 700 number is apparently not recognized by rover ?

Thanks Tyler, that narrows it down. lol

Yes Ted, I couldn't believe it fits that many either, but thats the list

Every model name I associate with Rover is in there haha

Hello Mod Bigted, Tyler and Max,

Tyler, many thanks to you and your 'friend' for that extensive info.
Really appreciated.

I can imagine that you met in a non-de-script car park where
this info was given to you in a plain paper bag. Maybe with mutual nods ...

For me, it shows the ubiquitous nature of the mulch plug as an accessory.
I guess, some came as standard; but others as accessories.

Bigted, Max told me that SBS were in pre-production for a new series
[made for TV] with a working title:
"The mulch Plugs of the Roving Mowers of the Kalahari"

Fascinating viewing ...
Didn't Fast Forward do a send-up of that sort of thing?]

Thanks Gentlemen.

Hi Jack

Firstly ,

Police pull up "you are under arrest for the possession and intent to distribute... er, mower part specifications????"


How about the dodgy brothers from fast forward

"We're out... er we're back... after a holiday in one of her majesty's fine gated establishments!"

Then proceed to try to flog police cars in the parking lot

G'day Ted Tyler and Jack

One steel Mulch plug ,Hmmm I wonder what Ted will mulch with that.


Cheers
Max.

Jack, I happened to spot a horse in at Gloucester Park trots called "Far from Kalahari" right after I read your message last night

Figuring it was an 'omen' bet (even though the market hadn't opened and I had no idea what it was paying) I put 2 each way (since I knew exactly what was going to happen).

Just as I expected - ran second - paid $1.70 haha.

G'day Tyler, Max and BT
I knew that nag was better than the glue factory.
Second, you say!!!

I think "The mulch Plugs of the Roving Mowers of the Kalahari"
appeared somewhere in this series: - SBS Series

My dream, in years to come, is that grandchildren will recite, by heart,
your Rover Mulch Plug list. They will be referred to [in hushed tones]
as the RMPs. Boys and girls will know their RMPs.

The school ground will be a hive of activity, with
black market trading of RMP collector cards.

Very entertaining
