O/T Webb 24" Cylinder Mower

[DaveMorris]

Moving house and downsizing lawn means that this brute is a bit oversized now.

 

24" Webb Cylinder mower of "indeterminate age" - probably ~1980

Original B&S motor replaced ~10 years ago with 5.5hp Honda engine. Always starts on first pull (if petrol present !).

Grass-box replaced ~5 years ago (cost ~£250 IIRC).

Comes with detachable seat/roller.

Also a pair of front wheels to allow 3" grass to be "topped" in the orchard.

Spare drive pulley and belts

Full working order, used through this last "summer", although a bit of touching up would be needed for the perfectionists.

New handle mounted throttle adjuster also required following snagging on a tree (though the one on the engine works fine).

 

Definitely not postable so collection from Oswestry (Shrops). Alternatively could arrange delivery if not too far.

 

Ideal for local cricket or bowling club if your garden is the same size as mine.

 

Pictures could be taken if required.

 

OIRO £325

Having been absolutely stunned by the response .. .. ..

 

Is it :-

a/. Too big,

b/. Too expensive,

c/. Too old,

d/. Too green,

e/. Too specialised

or

f/. Too late in the year

 

or some combination of the above.

 

As you can imaging, I don't sell many lawnmowers, so don't know the market that well.

Is it green? Maybe it would sell if you painted a yellow stripe down the middle of it 😬

 

Sorry

 

The older I get, the faster I was!

I THINK ITS DEAD RIGHT

I used to have one and they are cracking

I would probably buy this from you if were not for the logistics - I really miss the cylinder cut when I look out of my bedroom window in the mornings - rotary mowing is just such a compromise. My old one had a Suzuki engine which I have kept.

 

Just check out the price of a new 24" Atco - they are well over £2K

Dave,

 

Could you E-mail me pictures to here please?

 

I may be interested.

 

Cheers,

 

Nifty.

 

 

 

Keep off the straight and narrow 😬

[Tony Whitley]

I think it's the word "Webb" that's putting people off - I've got a vision of a lawnmower painted a garish yellow one side and a garish orange the other, with a ludicrous "zip" down the middle. It's very powerful and will shave over a second off the time to mow a stripe on your lawn but it will break down before you finish the second one.

 

Or is that just me?

[Colin Powell]

Could you please send a picture please, i have a ride on but it has no roller, and my dad likes his stripes 😬. Cheers Colin

 

Go on then just one more

[John Howe]

Surprised it wasn't gobbled up instantly.

 

I have one mothballed and the number of times people ask me if I still have it and "would I like to sell it".

 

Guess that don't make the likes anymore...
