Hello ODK members

The Lawnmaster was quite a novel 14" powered reel mower.
It was manufactured by Kelly Brothers Engineering Company of Marrickville, in Sydney's Inner West.

The Lawnmaster was manufactured from 1948 and was in production until about 1957.
It had a Villiers Midget engine that powered the reel only. It was not self-propelled.

It was of all-steel construction and its most unique feature was that it had an
'ingenious built-in grass catcher' mounted at the rear. There was no front roller, enabling the makers
to boast that it could get close to edges.

It wasn't a handsome machine... The Model A looked like a motorised perambulator! laugh
