Hi Everybody
Hello All, just thought it would be polite to introduce myself, I usually frequent motorcycle related forums as my main interest is in restoring and building motorcycle, but I may have caught the Lawnmower Bug.
I recently decided to replace my clapped out Flymo as it has given up the ghost and while searching for a replacement I came a cross an old Webb Battery Electric De Lux 14" on eBay and I thought it was worth a punt.
I must say I've not been disappointed, just gave it a clean, oiled the chains, replaced the rollers with a couple of drilled out rolling pins and put a new battery on it and bingo a smashing lawnmower for less the cost of a half decent new one and cyclinder mower to boot.
I'll have a few more questions to ask a little later but for now I would be interest to know its age.
Cheers
J

Thanks Clive,
The sticker on the back says 254, so I guess it was born around the time I was then,
That's good, looks like they
That's good, looks like they continued to 1971 when superseded by a belt drive model No. 296 which was fitted with a quickly removable cutting cylinder & single 60amp/hour battery. I have dug out the instructions for your model, bit moth eaten & chewed like us all!! but readable.
