Nah, not quite all repaired, it's still a 'project'. B&S 8HP model 19707 code 84100309 donk, 30 inch cut- the mower is actually an American made MTD Transmatic, model 134 504 612 rebadged as Victa. Other belts are stretched, minor electrics (safety switches) need attention, upholstery and such. At least one reduction pulley has been broken and a jerry repair carried out. The pulleys are expanding diameter type, as one gets bigger the other gets smaller. It needs a starter battery too and the cutting deck needs a couple of bearings. I know these things are all minor when considered individually but I might finish up with a 1984 ride-on that cost me a thousand bucks. Over to you Terry, I might even take a drive to Mannum one day and leave it on your door step. Your baby. Ha.

Having too much fun playing 'Farmer Ray' every coupla weeks.
Now if you'd said 'hard' I might be interested.

Is that the new one? No wonder the old one was thrown out.
