Honda engined mower identification!

I'm gonna guess at Honda HRG465SDE value around £125 tops.

GC series engine - not pro. GX is pro engine.

It's a domestic thing.

 

Looks like the type that when you let go of the drive arm it stops. Annoying after emptying the bag fifty times a cut. And having to restart it.

Not sure if its actually a Mountfield. But whatever it is, it is definitely a Castel mower. These are cheap Italian produced steel deck mowers which are marketed under various names, in various colours and with various engines. Mountfield is just one of the names.

 

The steel decks have an average life of 8-10years before they rust out, The Honda engine, even though only a GCV will easily outlive the deck.

 

Only single speed transmission.

 

If the deck is solid it would be worth £70, but no more. If the deck is rusted then its only value is for the engine.
