Hi Jspurlock

I guess the pulleys will be easy to get new ones, they are pretty standard things. The last ones I had for a machine (a Wheelhorse as it happens) turned out to be standard size and then the company just drilled out the centres to the correct shaft diameter.

Tyres though will be harder to get. As you know they are hard rubber that is bonded around a pressed steel centre. Some Mustangs had optional (and highly recommended!) pneumatic tyres although I don't know what they were like, mine just had the hard rubber ones.

if you want decals for the engines type briggs decal into ebay and it will bring up some from the usa very reasonably priced

will lok forward to seeing them

These Mowett Mustangs were exhibited at the Anglesey Vintage Rally in May 2009.  They belong to Vic Tolhurst from Amlwch, Anglesey, who was the Horticultural Steward.

what year is yours, mines identical but i have no idea, my email is kbergmann1002@yahoo.com. thank you

thank you, its a 72 i guess

what carb has it got. most briggs dont have a choke cable but the throttle cable also operates the choke
as for tyres, what size are they and are they pnumatics or solid rubbers

_popupControl(); looks like they upped the anti with the 1979 model alan !!! it got the 8hp b&s engine !!!

Well done, £47 is not dear, good luck with the restoration !!

Well, I got the little Mustang home, 200 mile round trip took me 7 hours!!! (they shut the A14 - fantastic!).

I just found this on Craiglist.

Just got myself a Mustang too!  First post here too!
I think Alan will agree with me here, just got the thing for £0.99.  I kid you not. 



Only problem is Im in Scotland, and its in the South of England.  I'll sort something out.  Always wanted one of these, but they always went for alot more than I wanted to pay.  This on the other hand went rediculously cheap.

Anyway, Im gonna restore it on the most part probably, but use go kart wheels and tyres instead.
 Its got a 5hp Briggs, which doesnt run.  Will do once Im done though.

That's all I gotta say right now, later guys!

Well, I have a friend of mine from youtube picking it up and storing it for me.  It just so happened that the mower was really close to him.  Im planning to go down to Gloucestershire to see some old friends in the summer, Was thinking of maybe going down to East Sussex then to pick it up.  Still a long long way though.  Anyone tried posting one of these?  I shouldnt think it would cost too much, then again it could be insane.

I was looking at putting a 3 speed onto it to.  Used 1st for cutting, and 2nd / 3rd for cruising along my lawn ;)  Cant wait to get my hands on it.

Thanks for your offer too, Although I still think it would be out of my way.  Appreciate it though!

try the pallet carriers usually about £45- £50

unless really local these days i just dont have time to run round the country so if its a long way off i say to people if they are unable to put it on a pallet i cant buy, sure sometimes you miss out but usually people will help, with a vechile thats big enough to move something like we collect think how soon you would use £50 worth of diesel? I know this only to well at the moment as i'm without a car scince it blew up and am using the works nissan cabstar, problem is its only doing about 20 mpg on the country lanes where i live- ouch!

Alan: That Pacemaker is cool!  What site was that on?  Pretty cool.

I'll look into a courier.  As I think I said, time is no issue for me.  Still waiting on the guy to email back though!  Just got his phone number from e**y so I'll give him a phone.

My car sips petrol usually anyway, but even with a 1 litre, it'll still cost just as much as a courier I would think.  My Father used to have a 4.7l V8 Cherokee.  Your 20mpg seems good compared to the 12 he got on a good day!  It sure moved though

but to go from 50 to 20 is a bit of a shock
