ID and approx age please ? Qualcast push

Yes, it is an old Qualcast Panther - a very successful product of theirs. When I joined them they were selling the Super Panther, which again was a solidly built roller mower with cast iron side plates.
The adjuster you are looking at is used to position the grass delivery plate (the curved plate) that is used to deliver the grass into the grass box.

thanks , I've now found the user manual , which does say it's for the bottom blade.
Apologies - I always thought
Apologies - I always thought that the central knob moved the delivery plate. On this model it must be attached to the bottom blade. They were not manufacturing this model when I worked there.
