Our kind neighbours gave us the mower they uncovered from all the stuff Petra (Butcher) left behind when she moved out. Thanks to Dad on his sabbatical and 40% of the MBBHB (men behaving badly in High Bickington) team (Mike and Andy) the Hayter Rider 125 (very rare (because they were shit)) according to the Hayter Owners Club) is now a runner.

Or she was. Now back on the bench to repair the deck. It looks like at least one of the blade assemblies was under too much stress and, eventually, the metal gave up.
