Hi all

Got another Turner, not in the best condition after being left in the weather for years, not sure of model but maybe one of the later models I suspect. No markings cast on deck, looks similar to some but not sure if it is the same. What caught my eye when first looking at a picture of it sent to me was one wheel cap on the ground next to the mower, unmistakable, the rocket logo. This one has the GC9 catcher which is listed for x and M series Turners.
The engine with it, im not sure about and don't think it is correct ? the engine wasn't bolted to the deck, that's how it came to the previous owner. It looks as though it belongs when you sit it in place. Engine ser - 8241E I thing reads as being made in August but not sure what decade, 68, 78, 88, I'm sure a member will know and if its not Circa 68 then impossible to be right but have never seen an image of this type of engine on a Turner either.

Hello wce
Yes, a mower close to my heart in domestic lawnmower design.

The Safe-T sticker and colour dates the machine nicely.
I guess the '68 or '69 season.

The Tecumseh motor is a red-herring.

These were the swan-song Turners and, arguably, their
best design.

Of all the popular AUS mower makers, Turner was the first to
introduce the high arch and the plastic catcher, Brilliant!

Hi wce + Jack

Yes I agree , the Golden Turner from 1969 and the Tecumseh motor is not the correct .

Cheers
Max.
