Hi there
New to this so after some advice on age of a mower that I got from my granny shed. Been sat for many years
It has on the frame a label that says Charles H Pugh and the number on it is HD2065
The engine is a villiers. And the serial no. starts 599d, was just wondering if anyone could tell me where to find out the age or tell me the age.
Cheers
Roy

Hi Roy. The numbers 2065 usually mean you have a 20" cutting width machine made in 1965. Regards Andy

Many thanks for reply. I have measured the blade and it is 20"
Just wondering also, how rare these are at this age, how much it would it be worth restored.
Cheers
Roy

Best to check on ebay for prices. Some fetch £40, some next to nothing if there is no one near you that fancies it. They are not uncommon.
