OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Restoring, Customising and Modifying Reel-Type Mowers Supercut amongst the 45's

Anyone working on a Supercut? Would be good to hear from you.

Craig

Hi Mark,

Yes I have one in the process, must admit it's not the most common unit for resto projects is it ?

Have you seen the Hot Rodded unit on Fleabay that located in Adelaide ? Looks good but not what I intend doing to mine.

I want mine to be factory original with no modification, thus it will represent what SB originally made. Australia's best Reel Mower.

BTW mine is a chain driven Villiers 412-H2 powered 18 inch model. Also the photo shows it with a Kirby HK25 petrol tank on it as I got it, but it now has it's original barrel type Villiers unit fitted.




Cheers,
BB

Hey BB, just for the record my name is Craig, the 'mark' came from the Villiers mark 1, mark 2 etc.....probably should have thought that through a little more!

Anyway, nice to see another Supercut is getting some attention. I'm rebuilding a 20" which is belt driven, it has the Villiers 12/2 with a reduction box.. I'm building this one out of a couple of machines so if you're in need of any parts let me know, I may be able to help, I'm happy to pass them on to a fellow restorer for no charge.

Hello Mark x11

Craig, I see you had a post here on your Bonmow restoration.
https://www.outdoorking-forum.com.au/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=13276

I was wondering whether that project was completed and if you had any
photos of the final result?

Cheers.

Hi Craig,

Doh !!!!! Thanks for clearing that one up for us, couldn't see the forest for the trees I guess, must change my Meds.

Does your Suppercut look like the following one ?




BTW thank you very much for the offer of parts. I too have a spare identical one in the SB bone yard to my machine, but it's minus some panel work on the engine.

Cheers,
BB

Hey BB, my mower is looking very similar to yours, complete but in a need of some TLC. I'll post some pics tomorrow. I see you've got the original crank handle too.....nice one!
