OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Finding and Swapping Tip & Curb Side Finds SB Model 35 - Supa-Swift - Corvette - old school

here is 3 of my old school mowers, they are currently at a mates place but im tryin to organise to get them back to mine. the supa swift is a goer but the scott bonnar an the victa are not currently going. i picked em up pretty cheap so worth to play around with them :-)

oooooooh wait till blumby sees the scottbonnar !!! nice looking 'ol girls though is the catcher for the s,b ? if it is i think they are a real find

yea i had a pic up awhile ago of the sb an i think they said it was a 35 model.

Where have I seen this picture from before? Where these on eBay?Good work none the less it would appear the Scott Bonnars has a Victa starter on it.Would be keen on know which model it is. Magistor or non magistor. I think I spelt that wrong,very tied should be in bed.If it turns out to be no good and don't know what to do with it let me know.I need some parts for my two.Desperately need a muffler for one.

Yea i dont know if ill be doing much with it lol. But when i get it here hopefully next weekend i can get numbers an stuff off it :-)

Ok cool just let me know if you decide you don't want to keep it. More than happy to see it here.

these 3 old girls have just been dropped at my house. but im at work till 5 :-(

Awesome lets us all know if they are good or bad.

With a good clean up i dont think they will be to bad. They are pretty complete. Altho i noticed the scott bonnar has got "Scott Bonnar" on the frame behind the front axle why would that be?

That's how the base was cast.I guess so you know it's a Scott Bonnar.

Opps i ment doesnt havnt scott bonnar at front. An what can you tell from the engine number an that? Iam guessin it doesnt have that thing on the side cause theres a hole in cowl?

Are you sure it's not there?I haven't received my 3rd mower yet,but I have noticed that the casting in that base is not as pronounced as much as my other two.Maybe even run your hand over it and see if you can feel it.If not I have no idea.

I will try running my hand over it tomorrow but im 90% sure its not there lol. I dont know weather to clean it up an have a play with it or get rid of it as it is lol. Its a interesting mower

Yes they are.If you decide to see it off let me know.I'd say that one originally had the magistor,but I'd say it had the coil replaced.Also I'm curious as to why the cowl is gold and not green.Wonder if somebody painted it gold.

Yea ill try see if i can find some signs of the green

I'm guessing it may have been changed when the Victa starter was put on.Maybe it was easier to get hold of gold.It's not the same gold as the rest of the mower. I'm guessing that would be why.Not that who ever painted it was worried about colour matches,but the green is quite different to other greens.

see no scott bonnar at front lol. i was busy with others mowers today. so only just started on scott bonnar carby an i tried a quick clean to see if she would fire up. all i got was puffs of smoke out carby an exhaust lol

At least you got something,lols...Clean that carby and get that top of and see if its all frozen,shell run looks like a great prospect this one,complete except its Magi.Definately from all our info it is a 35 201 series 3 magi going off the number.The casting is rough like my two and most others ive seen. Odd on the naming but pretty cool to have another variation of sorts. At least shes rigged up for use without the magi instead of being left to die...The starter I would have expected on the earlier models,but who cares,the Correct "SURE START" Version comes up on ebay every now and then. The Only other slight discrepency I could note is the length of the exhaust pipe..but really it hardly matters. Love It,Id like to restore this one as its mostly complete and the fact you got it too PFFFFFT and fart a little is enough for me to jump right in ..Good score i reakon. As you can also tell...I dont really care about the other 2...Lmao....Naaa just goofin...Good Haul

might be a stupid question but what does the magistor do? lol can it run or start without it?
