I've seen the mention 🥰🥰🥰

Nice mower mate, the modern Chinese Webb weh12r is based on that exact mower. But the modern Webb has a plastic rear roller instead of metal like yours, and plastic top, steel front roller. Plus the modern Webb has plastic cylinder bearing housings. Type restoring qualcast super lite panther in you tube, and you will see terror bear has a video of him totally stripping the same mower as yours down, and sandblasting it, painting it, and he changes the five blade cylinder to a ten blade. I can't find a ten blade anywhere, but if I could, would swap the cylinder out in my 1960's super panther from a five to ten cylinder. Yardbrah in America also has the same mower as yours but with a ten blade cylinder.

@@GardeningOnALowBudget you can't beat them, no fuel, electric etc needed, get them backlapped so they are so sharp they cut with virtually zero contact between cylinder and bed knife, so hardly any effort to push, and you won't beat them. Different story if your lawn is on quite a steep incline though, especially with the older heavier push mowers, but your lawn is as flat as a bowling green, so you wouldn't even work up a sweat pushing that panther 30s. And they will last for centuries.

@@markslade9722 I also add weight on top of it so it flattens the grass more. lol

@@GardeningOnALowBudget I have done that in the past with some of my light side wheel cylinder push mowers, using cylinders filled with sand for stopping pergolas flying off, but don't need to do it with all my old vintage cylinder mowers as they are heavy enough🤣🤣🤣your panther 30s is probs about 1980's or 1990"s, and so the side casings on yours are light aluminium. But my original panther from the 50's is all steel and cast iron, then my 60's super panther the same, but the following model was the superlite panther from the 70's which is basically the same mower as your 30s, that is when they made them lighter by using aluminium for the side casings.. Only thing you may find adding more weight to yours is the rear roller nylon bushings will probably wear prematurely as you are adding a lot more weight to them than what they were designed to take, so make sure you regularly grease them.
