This HG Palmer mower has come my way as a trade for parts with another collector, the Briggs and Stratton engine oozes workmanship and pride from days gone by
Engine Model is 81706 and good old USA I was able to download the engine manual from the Briggs and Stratton web site
And as luck would have it I had the missing badge siting in my spares, it was for sale on fellow member Kye's Facebook page for $20 so I grabbed it :-)
This mower is in fantastic condition and will only be getting a service and a clean.
