Hi lawnmower enthusiasts.

My 42 year old M4 has recently expired - the nylon recoil pulley has snapped.and I've given up hope of sourcing a replacement.

I had a shinny new Mountfield delivered yesterday so the M4 is free to a good home.

I bought the old M4 from a neighbour 20 years ago for the princely sum of six bottles of craft beer!  It had given faultless service apart from the odd reluctant hot start.

The glass fibre collection box has a broken hinge, but it still mounts and collects perfectly.

Just wondering if anyone would like to take it off my hands free of charge - before it goes to the recycling centre?

If it's a Briggs and Stratton engine spare pulleys are easy to find, I may even have one still. What size is it do you think?

I live in south Northants, I already have an M3 so am interested, do you still have it? Must wait until covid is over first though of course.
