Hello ODK history lovers
The Deckson Executive was a 26” garden tractor made by
John Deck & Sons of Smithfield, Sydney, NSW.

Little is known about this model, but at least one survives...

Dating is c1976 and I have found but one newsprint advertisement.
It is rear-engined and seems to have been marketed between the
popular Rover Colt and Rover Ranger. The engine was, best guess,
a Briggs Model 17 vertical shaft.

The drive presents as similar to the Cox system – of an
engine-mounted friction cone acting between friction plates
producing instant forward and reverse via a RH side lever.

That is not surprising; given that John Deck & Son were the distributors
for Owen Cox mowers in New South Wales.
