my old man worked at ransomes for about 30 years after he came out of the raf . he might have had a hand in that mower ( painful!) . I think he was more involved with side panels for combine harvesters now I think about it.AMCQ46 wrote:Found a 1970s Ransomes 20" petrol Lawn mower in my shed at the new house when the previous owner did a very sh1t job of clearing up when he left... it was a non runner, but complete.
so decided as it was spring I would see if I could get it started..... Amal carb so corroded all the jets were blocked and the throttle slide woulnt move, no spark and fuel tap missing.
so a few hours with my AF spanners and its alive
How sad am I that I should be so happy saving old tat from the skip!!!!!! oh hold on, that's what we all do with our storms
I think ransomes invented that type of mower ?
