HI ALL. I AM A NEW MEMBER WHO HAS JUST GOT THE RESTORING BUG AFTER DOING A LANDMASTER SUPER 88 ROTOVATOR.

I NOW HAVE A WEBB 14" CYLINDER MOWER WHICH I AM TOLD IS FROM THE 60S. THE SERIAL NO ON THE RIGHT SIDE PLATE ON THE MOWER IS 253-57462. ARE THE LAST TWO NUMBERS THE YEAR IF SO 1962.

 I ALSO HAVE THE ORIGINAL OPERATING MANUAL WHICH DOES THE 14" AND 18" ALSO THE 2 YEAR GUARANTEE . THE BRIGGS AND STRATTON MANUAL IS ALSO INCLUDED THE NO 60102-0140-01-6712123 IS STAMPED ON THE SIDE . ALL THIS IS IN THE ORIGINAL PRINTED ENVELOPE.

COULD ANYONE SHED SOME LIGHT ON THE YEAR OF THIS MOWER? ALSO ALL THE DECALS ARE STILL ON IT BUT THE GRASSBOX ONE IS TORN. DO YOU KNOW WHERE I CAN GET ONE?

 THANKYOU IN ANTICIPATION.

The engine serial number 6712123 shows that it was made on the 12th day of the 12th month of 1967

so it's fairly safe to assume that the mower was made some time in 1968.

This club does decals but if no luck there try http://www.machinerydecals.co.uk/contactc.html

HI, WRISTPIN

THANKS FOR THE INFO ON THE ENGINE. CAN YOU SHED ANY LIGHT ON THE NUMBERS ON THE MOWER?

I HAVE LOOKED ON THE CLUBS DECALS BUT NOT THE RIGHT ONES FOUND. I WILL TRY THE OTHER SITE YOU MENTIONED.

THANKS

Thanks wristpin for the info on dating the mower it was very helpful.

Still no luck with the decals yet though, i will try machinery decals. Sorry about the caps lock.
