Scott Bonnar Model 19 Vintage Original Condition Electric Mower
$975 Negotiable
A pretty rare example of a classic Adelaide-made electric reel lawn mower.
Very few electric Scott Bonnars are available, and especially the quite early Model 19s, and the guess is this is from the late 1950s, so over 60 years old.
I was gifted this mower from an older gentleman who lived next door to us in the early 1990s when we lived in Highgate, SA. Given his age and attitude, I have no reason to believe he bought it used, so he would have been a first owner. I have kept this mower and used it sparingly since as a second owner, and it works fine after more than 60 years, so great provenance.
It is a electic Bonmow Model 19, 14" cut, with catcher, all ORIGINAL, down to the nuts and bolts, EXCEPT for the front roller, which I was lucky enough to have turned and installed a few years ago by the local Men's Shed out of jarrah I brought over from WA when I moved to SA over 30 years ago.
Photos will tell the story, it is a good, solid, classic, working machine, ready for maybe a bit of tinkering but then for another 60 years of service, great for small lawns for people that appreciate quality machinery.
Heavy (53 kgs), so local pickup best.
Update: March 2022, just used this mower over an area under our Hills Hoist, everything worked fine: drive clutch, blades, power switch, catcher, etc. Needs a sharpen. Good unit. Catcher works well, no holes but some rust.
