Went out the front this morning and saw a mower sitting behind a rubbish clean up pile up the road. So i went up to look at it and now its in the back yard. I have never used this style of mower before but i have figured out how to start it but how does the fuel switch work? it has a push pull type switch. It has a Kirby Tecumesh plate on the front of the motor. Can anyone give me any other information on it like age etc? It also has DAWSON MK14 on the back of it behind the motor.

Cheers

Ok i figured it out. The fuel switch needs new O-rings as they are hard and it leaks fuel out the switch. I had to put a new spring and arm on the starter switch as the old one broke when i was trying to get it started. It runs but it hunts for fuel so i might pull the carby apart and give it a really good clean out.

That is a great looking original machine, I would leave him as-is and the value will go up in years to come.

Josh84,

That looks like a two stroke tecumseh engine.

I believe it had a aluminium shoot out the left hand side as there is a hole there and a stud to mount something on. However the shoot is gone.

What a great little lawnmower. Cuts the grass like a bowling green! I know what i will be using to do the lawns from now on!

Looks like you got a good one there Josh. Good score!

Cheers!

I have 3 mowers and 3 whipper snippers now.. the girlfriend tells me i have to get rid of some lol

LOL my partner told me that when I had 3 or 4 mowers, I just kept forgetting that she said no more. It was easy at first to hide one here and there in the shed or behind it.

There is well over 60 around here at any one time now, bit hard to hide them!

lol... tell her they are like rabbits

HAHAHHHAHAH, mine just says where did that come from? She still has not noticed to two extra 18 specials I have at the moment!

there homeless lawn mowers... you can't turn the homeless away!

and just swapped a good one for another 2....

I'm in love with this Mower.. cuts the grass like a bowling green and is so easy to use. It has the opening for a shoot out the left hand side on it.. I was thinking of making a shoot to fit it out of some stainless i have here. Good idea? Also it has the provisions for a Catcher... What are my chances of finding one?.. As i would much rather use this to do my lawns than any other mower i have here..

Hi Josh, on scoring another one mate, could you please post a pic of the new machine, as we all love to see 'em!

Hey Daryl. Its the same one as in the top of the topic... Rather than start a new topic i just revived this one.. as i would really like to keep using this mower instead of my others. But i need a catcher to fit it
