Hi codeman, here is a little history for you...I am still doing some more research for you.
The Cox Story
Owen Cox, Cox Mowers
Over 50 years in the making
The secret to the success of Owen Cox is that he listened to the needs of his customers. And he then designed and engineered products that exceeded his customers' expectations. The zenith of that business philosophy is to be found today in Cox's range of tough, quality ride-on mowers that are packed full of design and engineering innovations born from the experiences and wish lists of the people who use ride-ons.
Truly... The Tough Australians...
The story of Cox began in 1953 when inventor and engineer, Owen Cox, founded his company to produce the 'Air Rite' brand of petrol and electric driven air compressors. They were immediately successful and encouraged Owen to expand his foundry and engineering base and begin manufacturing innovative
two-stoke outboard motors for the boating market.
Then, as new petrol powered push lawn mowers began to revolutionise domestic lawn care, Owen realised their potential and developed his 'Mow-Master' range - again, an outstanding success story. Through his own retail outlet, Owen kept in close contact with his customers and was able to move quickly to keep ahead of this rapidly developing market. Realising that push mowers were of little use on Australia's larger properties, Owen pioneered the concept of ride-on mowers and, by the late 1950's, was producing and marketing the Cox 'Mow Mobile' - Australia's very first designed and built ride-on mower.
Hopefully, more to come.
