Hi, Just joined after buying my first old mower. I have been told it is a Qualcast PM,
I bought it because a workmate gave me two old Villers two stroke engines and it took me back to when I was a kid going down to the local dump dragging home an old mower and seeing if I could get it to run. So now Im sort of hooked!
Question If I may, is there anyone in the group that knows about identifying and dating Qualcast Mowers.

Hello RJK1962

A warm welcome to these forums.

I am yet to write about Qualcasts here, but they have played a significant
part in Australian vintage mower history.

I do not recognise the 'Qualcast PM'; although I do recognise 'Qualcast Power Mower'
If you can upload pictures I will be happy to date the machine for you.

Info on uploading pictures may be found here HERE.

Hope this helps.

Welcome RJK,

Im sure some Members will be only to happy to help with your little beastie when they become available, Images will be very helpful to identify your machine quickly and accurately

My personel interest lay in your Villiers Engines...What model are they? Are they spares and do you have any images you could post...

There are quite a few members here who have specific interest in Vintage engines as well as mowers/machinery...

Hello RJK

You're very welcome.
I can help you immediately:
https://www.outdoorking-forum.com.au/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=60359

These are great mowers - and made in AUS and ENG.
Yours is a made-in-England machine... A 'Derby Qualcast'

Hope this helps.

Hi Guy's

This topic has gone way off the "Introductions" concept and thus Darryl can you move it to the appropriate sub-forum ?
Cheers,
BB

Hello Mod BB

Quite right.
Introductions should be just that.
This one developed into two separate topics.

I have separted the topic about the Villiers Midget and moved it here:-

https://www.outdoorking-forum.com.au/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=68911

This Topic is now closed.
