Hi
Chris125 and
ODK members,
I am compelled to say something here, on this one ...
Turner have gone unrecognised in the vintage mower world.
They were more innovative than they have been given credit for.
They were pioneers in introducing the
4-stroke Australian-made rotary.
They were pioneers in introducing the
moulded-plastic catcher.
They were pioneers in addressing
lawnmower safety issues.
This is an
important machine, and one frequently overlooked.
Chris, your machine is
mid-to-late 1960s.
I hope you call it 'Tina'
Rene Turner's story is an interesting one that I hope to tell in the
History Forums.
Turner probably entered the lawnmower market for the wrong reasons.
Turner probably exited the mower market for the right reasons.
They were only there for a decade. No more.
All very interesting.
