Really pleased that you started this thread !
I got heavily into mowers after I sold my 911S , and I use it a lot more often !
Being a member of a ' maverick ' website I just had to give it a ' rat look ' ( as of course you do nowdays).
I started with a base Bosch Rotak 40 GC and then made it real ' cool '.
I dropped the front end a bit and fitted extra light weight 3 part high performance alloys with 'bad boy' tyres
Added a quick shift straight cut lever
How cool is that ??
Must go. Some bloke in a white coat at's the door.

I've got a barn find mower in my garden. In need of recommisioning, but is a 'rare' early Suffolk colt. Must be worth a fortune....

Before you start jumping to conclusions you need to check its one of the original lightweight ones and not the later continuation modelsMr Pharmacist wrote:I've got a barn find mower in my garden. In need of recommisioning, but is a 'rare' early Suffolk colt. Must be worth a fortune....

Excellent find, looking forward to the resto thread.Mr Pharmacist wrote:I've got a barn find mower in my garden. In need of recommisioning, but is a 'rare' early Suffolk colt. Must be worth a fortune....
I think what Steve has done here is really captured the zeitgeist. As more and more DDkers offload their cars and others keep theirs in boxes in the garage, a thread about lawnmowers could not have come at a better time.
My preference is for an early Ransome, a firm favourite with the traditional green keeper, they can still be spotted occasionally, cutting a fine top on a bentgrass or Bermuda green.

Nice bit of kit, Mike. 
Have yet to see one in the metal but I live in hope.
