G;day
Paul, Max, wce and all
Paul, many thanks for sharing your Qualcast Turner.
Your images tell the truth about the matter.
I thinks it's more likely a later model than an earlier model to the 1959 Turner because the
1958 Carter has one piece handler bars.
I absolutely agree Max.
It must be a Turner derivative c1960-61.
I was wondering if it could possibly be a McEwans 1961 Special with a Villiers Torque master engine.
Max, I don't know ...
I say this because
TROVE skews results from these years due
to copyright restrictions. The Canberra Times is a savior here, but
it does skew perceptions.
McEwans were certainly one of the earliest users of Store branded mowers.
The word 'Special' itself suggests a 'toe-cutter' - if you know what I mean ...
The McEwans Special was not a Turner, given the evidence I have found.
But nothing is certain here ...
CheersJack
