OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Finding and Swapping Rare Finds & Donations Almost a set.Twin,Lightweight & Compact

I'll have one last big dig around here on the weekend, when i Finnish cleaning the shed, if i find any, there yours!

Cool I have 2 but one is really not that good. Properly not good enough after a restore.Looks like it was dragged down the road for a km.On one side.Not good.

Do you mean the sloped cap like the mustang had???


Any i find i will hang onto.

Yes Rodeobob that is exactly the one's I'm talking about.The Twins,lightweight and compact all had them.As you can see by the photos I have none for them.I do have one on my VC-Mustang,but I'm not pulling it off that one.It is a very good mustang not a lot wrong with it.A little damage to cowl and a little on base.Not going to pull it apart for parts.Will clean it up,it will come up very good.

When you do find them Jeffery, let me know any parts codes stickers that you get with them, I can help you work out if you have actuall twin/lightweight ones, and which ones are which.

By memory, the twin and supremes used the same cose, and the lightwiehgt and compact used a second code.

I only have the one that was on the Monaro (scratches badly)and one from a mustang with no sticker on it at all.

By memory, the one on your monaro refers to a gap in my data, and I believe that gap was a number of ones sent to store-brand, so it is likely original to the monaro.

So I will need a sticker for a Twin,lightweight or compact.So I guess if it goes on one I will have to pull the sticker off.

I have the correct sticker on mine, and it is in good nick, so I will try and get you a clear scan

OK then cool,and hopeful VictorVicta is on the right track to making them.

Hi just wanted to add some more photos and some input here.
There are some more pictures.





The red twin in the middle is currently being restored.I had to get it's base welded up it's currently together as I haven't finished repairing it's new base.Yes that one is Goliath.The other red twin is now called Zuul,and the green one I haven't come up with a name yet.Any suggestions would be good.I have managed to find a few more to this family.Two other twins one a Supreme.I also have an electric 400 in Brisbane (being stored there with a friend). Also after the trip to Melbourne (Gee I hope it works next time) Hopefully I should come home with a Fair-light electric.I know they are electric but they run the same base and catcher as the lightweight.So I do consider them to be in the same family.Now I only need to find the Gold Supreme,which are a lot harder to find.

OK took some more photos today with the Fairlight included into the family. Unfortunately the Electric 400 is still in Brisbane so it doesn't see it's family just yet.Here's the family so far.






I only need the gold twin now and the family will be complete.Hopefully I will find it.If not the second red twin will be painted gold.From what I have worked out it does have the gold twins engine on it.So if I painted the base gold it should still be correct.

And isnt the cord a PITA

The cord is a what?

PITA: Pain in the...

.......and what does the A stand for?......I don't think the cord is a problem after all I'm not going to mow the lawns with it.

The A stands for what your being! :P

Yes, it is an advantage not having to use this mower, I've used corded electrics before, and trust me, your not missing out mate, as Bob said, it really is a PITA!!!

The set is comming along well, by memory you have the 400 electric waiting for you over the border?

Hay still don't know what the A is for and now you've got a P there.Really confused now.No the 400 electric is over 2 borders and some 1600kms away.

Im sure if you plug that sucker in and get mowing it will all become crystal clear.


Today I missed out on a SB electric that i was bidding on for ya.

Well I guess that will never happen as I'm not about to start mowing any lawns with it.On that side note did you get any pictures of it?
