    I used to have a Qualcast Panther which my dad used when i was a very young child. Sadly, the local museum wasn't interested so it went to the scrappie.:(

  6. I have a panther which I picked up off Gumtree. Built like a tank and will go on forever. :thumbsup:

    I personally prefer the Allen scythe mowers. Everything up to young birch forest means nothing to it.

    I had to google this..

    It falls into the category of machines that lurch around causing random destruction and mayhem, almost under the control of the operator. It also has a reverse gear so it can run you over backwards, including a throttle design that makes it rev up if you end up holding the throttle control as it lurches back at you.. especially if you are about 12..

    I used to have hours of fun *******ing about with my dad's Super Colt as a kid, eventually nicking the engine for a very dangerous go kart, that sported no clutch or brakes. It didn't end well... :eek::lol:

    Much easier than a push-mower.

  14. Much as I like to see pictures of all the random mowers, it’s hardly relevant to the question, and doesn’t help me in my attempt to repair an old mower that I acquired. :( There seems to be pretty much nothing when I Google or search YouTube. I’m beginning to wish I had never bid on it :lol:

    What do you expect from classic car forum?

    Incidentally, there are hundreds of pictures of Suffolk Punches. Jus google Suffolk Punch Lawnmower and search imagess.

  18. Don’t know yet. I saw it running when I picked it up, but the cables are not adjusted properly, and I have ordered a repair kit for the assembly in the control where the safety switch and cable grab are fitted. I could really do with a pic or diagram of how that goes together. It may be that when they arrive it will all just be a simple, job. But I do like to research stuff before I do it.
     
  19. It'll be pretty self-evident. Can still get spares for them. I'd get rid of the safety switch - live dangerously!

  20. Actually it’s a classic microbus/delivery van/camper conversion forum. And if I’d just wanted a picture of a mower, I could have taken a picture of the mower I have. I was hoping that maybe someone who had one could take some pics of specific areas where I will need to see how bits are assembled. :)
