pmackellow 2,738 #1 Posted September 15, 2014 Just got back from a day trip to Cornwall (as you do) with this, its an International Cadet 81 of the late 70's period, complete with mowing deck... rather pleased but somewhat tired now, started out from home at 2am and got home at 5pm... I will have a good look at it tomorrow, it's parked in its new home now, here's some photos to be going on with... 3 OldBuzzard, WestwoodGazelle and HeadExam reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pmackellow 2,738 #24 Posted September 16, 2014 Cadet 81 has been retro fitted by the previous owner with a recoil start Honda engine (Mr Briggs he go bang), put some juice in and it went first pull Dating guide dates it correctly as a Cadet 81 and built in 1978 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pmackellow 2,738 #25 Posted September 16, 2014 I know its not 100% original but the Honda runs ok so I think I will leave it in it... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
