Hello
ODK history lovers
The
Boundy Manufacturing Company made an important
contribution to rotary mower production in the 1950s.
Boundy was part of a small, elite group of AUS rotary makers
that made the whole
shebang – the engine and the chassis!
Boundy ran a two-model policy at that time – a 15”
Lawn Cub,
and an 18”
Lawn Patrol.
However, for two seasons,
1956-57 and
1957-58, the
Lawn Patrol became the
Lawn Scout.
It is open to speculation as to why there was a name change
and then a return to the original name. Any ideas?
There were two versions of the
Lawn Scout: the first model
(1956-57), and then the
Lawn Scout Deluxe (1957-58).

The main difference between the
Scout and the
Scout De Luxe was
with the Boundy engine. Both had the unique Boundy ignition system,
but the
Deluxe introduced the
fan-forced cooling of the new
‘Gold Cheetah’ engine.
