Whats the old phrase.. Tell him he's dreamin'

If they'd left the paint alone it would have been worth something, such a shame to see a absolute gem of a machine look so terrible...

you would have to be keen!!!

Morning nath and gml,

Yup, would be worth something if it hadn't been painted - not quite that much though!

seller claims "as new" well why paint it?and baby Poo brown! geeeezus

two new ads on gumtree a guy selling two vintage greenies wonga park Melb they wont last long!

Yeah I was going to add them, pretty damn tidy

Evening gml, nath,

Nice machines for sure. Will be interesting to see how long they last...would be interesting to know what they fetch if/when they sell.

G'day gml, nath, and Mod prd
I shake my head in unison with gml and all right-thinking folks about the paint choice.

Nonetheless, this presents as an otherwise good job.
The owner seems to have done a good job ... and ... this is a Greenfield!

For the record, I include a gallery.
Is that a dog in the background?

I hope this Greenie goes to a good home.

Hi All,

Actually I don't have an issue with the colour at all and as Jack has suggested the refurb job has been done very nicely with quite a lot of attention to detail.

Cheers,
BB.

great job i agree but if ya gunna go to that level a can or two of yellow would have taken it to the next level,just saying not knock'n it. after all it's a greenfield! g'day prd they are 10 mins from me but i got too much on the go atm,even tho i am tempted two buy both

Morning All,

That must be tough gml! 10 minutes away and having to resist at least going and kicking the tyres!

What the 'bronze goddess' in the photos above does do is gives us a great photo reference of the later style decals that were used on these machines. It's also got the wind row chute- which is quite rare.

Cheers,

I was thinking that the stickers were a pretty [Censored] good reference,why can't anyone ever take a pic of the instructions one though?

g'day prd,yeh i know if i go look i will buy both,

I told a mate about them tonight and he will probably grab one because he wants something small enough to mow around/between his trees where he can't get his zero turn in. Also he thinks it would be a good talking/laughing point

g'day Norm i reckon they will go quick,

My only issue with my mate getting one is I know who will have to fix it. I told him I would prefer to cut around and under his trees with a 24 than have to fix a ride on for him,I'm getting too old for this.

They're Greenies Norm! They don't need fixing- they just go forever!

prd, you got that right, they go forever, they have already gone, just hope my mate didn't buy both of them.
gml, I just realized it is you causing me grief, before I mentioned these two Greenies he was on about seeing if I could fit a 28 inch deck that is on Gumtree into the Massey Ferguson I have here that originally belonged to him 10 years ago.I quickly mentioned the Greenies to take his attention off the deck

guy's i went and had a look at those two greenies(with a pocket full of chaff) and they are the business!the supa swift is interesting the way it operates,you have to engage the cutter to move and it has a steel deck,the owner assure's me he got it from the orig purchaser and it is orig, i dont know enough about them to disagree,they both go well and cut,i was going to buy both and hope for a qiuck flip and a small profit but he is not going to budge much,still either one or both would be a good purchase,nice young bloke as well

Upon a closer look that red deck is steel, You can see the press lines, very cool

Yeah the early red ones were clutched different I believe.

They both deserve a Museum!
