Passing through Collaroy, I stopped to grab a hamburger for lunch today and parked in front of a mower shop. As I was returning to my car on a whim I went into the shop and asked the youngish guy in attendance if he'd ever heard of King mowers. Came the reply: "Yep, two strokes on a plastic deck. Good little mowers. Ran really well."
My next question was if he happened to remember the distributor: "Yep, Parklands Trading. Still in business. Import Tanaka products."
Given his apparent age, I was quite surprised that he knew this but he said he's been in the mower business since 1991, which just happened to be the year that I bought my King mower.
So, I'll now see if somebody at Parklands can help me with information about the manufacturer. Fingers crossed.
Parklands should be able to help with some information but here is some more regarding the mower:
1. Engine is an Oleo-mac 40cc
The online store still has some blades in stock for that model as well but not listed on the site.
2. It was bought in under the EFCO brand (which is basically an Oleo-mac)
The mower is no longer bought into Australia.
