Walking through the Ransomes Crawler section at Tractor World, I spy a congregation of  Ransomes mowers and an edger!.........

.......Now I shall see what mowers are in the auction?       (to be continued)

I visited the show with Alec on Sunday and we saw the Ransomes mowers for sale too. Somebody bought one of the edgers...

Good to hear that a historic machine has gone to somebody who can appreciate and cherish it.

On the subject of cherished Mowers, here are some more pictures taken at the auction.

Coincidentally; "Mowing Wurzel Senior" requires a model 146402, 6hp Briggs & Stratton engine. similar to this one.

preferably code suffix 66.  (these are usually painted white for 1966 period)

(see the wanted advert)

Thanks for posting the pictures. Looks like a great show had never heard of it until these postings (just Googled it) - a date for next year's calendar!

Looked up the auction results too - huge number of lots! Liking the British Anzani Lawnrider in your photos - I bought one like it at the OLC rally auction in May.

Probably won't be buying any more mowers for a while though as just last week sold our very practical old Nissan hatchback (bought the lawnrider home in it easily) and bought a Lexus IS saloon - nice car but tiny boot and the seats don't fold down :-(

Thank you for commenting on my pictures, as well as auctions, I am pro-active to visit Museum's displaying Mowers and gardening equipment.

So good to see the OLC compiling a map and key of sites to see them.

 

The British Anzani Lawnrider featured,  is part of the "Lawnmower Diaspora" of a late and extremely much missed friend and member of the OLC.

On the subject of the Lawnrider, this one is 1964.

 

Tractor World Show:  Perhaps the OLC could have a stand there?
