Dennis Swift

I thought it about time I shared The Dennis Swift with you, all the information I know I found here at OLC under "Dennis Swift", I gather its somewhat rare, I can't find anything on the Web about it (except here) no pics or anything, I did find a pic of its bigger brother the Swallow tho'

When I acquired her she was quite a state, bitumen paint on her deck, non running engine, bearings seized, cowlings missing, blade bent like a pretzel and rotten belts.

I brought her back to life and put her back in working order, in some places using artistic licence and erring on the side of safety concerning the front brush bar as the blade comes right up to the front edge of the deck.

She runs well and does a reasonable job for her age, I like to use her every now and then but I nurse her along as I don't want to hurt her.

Her unique party trick is the engine can be removed to power stationary machinery or pumps, just remove the belt cover, un couple the belts and unclipped the springs then the engine lifts off! I don't know of any other mower where you remove the engine opposed to adding another attachment.
