Hi all, I have just salvaged a Cox Gulpy from my mothers farm. It's in great original condition and runs beautifully.
I contacted Cox Industries in QLD yesterday, 18/11/13 and received a reply from the General Manager, Steve Lee. He said, "Yes the Gulpy was great, I started with Cox in 1973 which was around the time we started producing the product, we were buying special engines from Victa for the Gulpy and Victa decided to produce their own JET and therefore would no longer supply us with engines.
As expected their unit did not perform as well as the Gulpy and eventually they stopped producing it, unfortunately it was to late for us to go back into production as the Ride on Mower side of the business was taking off.
Good to see it still works, they originally came with a hose connector that connected to the outlet, this enabled it to be used as a pump as well, if my memory is correct it would push a 12 foot tinny along at around 5 knots."
Great to get this sort of info about an interesting bit of unique engineering.
Cheers
