Thanks Jack.
I think it more like 1960βs as it had mainly Whitworth nuts & bolts
Canβt find much info on the model but have come across 2 others on the internet
Cheers scott
Connor max, here is a link to earlier posts on the Deckson mower, apparently they were manufactured in USA and badge engineered her in Aus..

Beech.
It may have been assembled here, after import in CKD form though - that machine bears more than a passing resemblance to a model that Deckson brought in as a full import in the mid 1970s, and re-decaled, their 'Mowette';

Hello Beech and Gadge
I should have paid more attention to the original image. Yeah, I guess 1960s too. The solid wheels, for me, stand out more than the tiller-like steering.
Hi everyone,
That looks modern for a 60s machine. The black engine may have been added in later?
Has a very American look to it's design.
It would be something you'd expect the Brady Bunch household to use if they had a bigger lawn.
Ahh, if only victa had kept producing the thumblatch catcher series, they would be in better shape today!
The Tecumseh engine is the one in the original picture but my research seems to indicate it had a B&S when released.
I kept the engine I got it with because I liked it
The black Tecumseh engine helps modernise it's looks. The orange paint helps along with it's renewed appearance. 1960s mowers tended to have any colour but black on their engines.
Looks fantastic Connormax.

That's a great observation MF - about the absence of black on 1960s mower engines. I guess most colours are ... fashionable. Some never seem to go out of fashion - the binaries - black or white.
MF, you have observed that these general statements must be industry specific. I can't think of a black lawnmower engine form the 1960s.
