This is a post WWII machine that I date to the mid-1950s. It is a fully imported machine, and the tinplate covers that run horizontally across the frame cross tubes indicate this is the final iteration of the Great 16. Quite rare now.
Many thanks for saving this one. Please keep us informed.
I need to find or make new handles and the cables are stretched, but It looks like I could fire it up and it would cut grass. I even have the catcher! I think I will be keeping this one... :-) it has a strange locking clutch lever, never seen one before.
