Hello ODK History Lovers,

Robert Philpott Pty. Ltd. made the Minter Mower. They were sold from about 1955 - 1959.
The business was located somewhere on North Rocks Road, North Parramatta.

They were mostly conventional in design but with two significant features:-
[1] Curiously, they had a double row of wheels at the back - 4 wheels!
[2] Their real claim to fame is that the Minter may be the first rotary with a single
point height adjustment. Philpott patented it. [See next posting]

The machine had an 18" cut and had swing-back blades.
The first engine used was an 98cc Midget, made by Villiers.
