    Hi I’ve got the same mower it’s built by DAYE Power in China.. Mine is green and badged as a Tesco mower .. To be fair I think these are as good as Honda I’ve rebuilt mine after years of neglect in lockdown The engine is a DG600. 173cc ..Starts 1st time . It’s lubricants are castrol R racing oil it does smell good… I’ve got all the service parts from Germany there European office ..So DAYE Power build these mowers and get rebadged .
