All Finished.

Awesome another fine job there.I did have a look at my wheels.I couldn't find a set.I did find out that although Turner wheels are similar they do have different inside spokes,but I couldn't find the set I thought I had. I'm guessing they didn't make the move.Besides that it's a great job you have.I should send mine down there and you can make it look like your one.The only bits my doesn't have is the right muffler,badge and one height adjuster cover.Well done it looks great.

What a Beaut!
You sure can restore them Bluegmht!

Kori

man .what a nice job. looks awesome

That is probably the best Reco / Resto i have ever see Extremely Well Done

Thankyou Guys,
I Really appreciate the comments and feedback it means alot,Especially coming from fellow Collectors and restorers.
Thankyou for looking blumbly,its all good,I think I have some from another member who has kindly offered me a set.:) Ive got one badge left earlmarked for my Tiger,the muffler is just a Rotomo bun style with the offset. And yeah you can send yours down...But You might not get it back,lols. Thanks again guys for the Awesome Comments on another note,does anyone know what the HG head piece is off? picked it up a while back,loved the look of it and its style,very well made. Its damn heavy and very similar to a car hood ornament,they went to a lot of trouble to make this for a mower.

That's good then blue. I'm glad you found some,I can stop looking now. Also I looked at my hg palmer the other day and I noticed that my height adjuster is on the opposite side to your one. I'm not sure why,but they must have made different models. I thought they were all the same.

Sure does Blumbly,They Definately came both sides,I have both. And since it doesnt appear to discriminate between early or later models we had a few assumtions...one being for left and right handed operators. If you look at the HG 2 Stokes they have removale axles to swap sides,and with a barrel turn are an exact Mirror,where as the 4 stroke does not and only has its height adjuster on the left. A second theory was that since they used the Victa engine and cowl,maybee by some copyright or desire not to make them seem exactly the same as the Victa Utilities of the same period they switched sides to minimise similarities?.who knows.But the lefty righty theory thingy seems cool...
