OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums General Discussion Forum OutdoorKing Showcase Looking for help to identify model and year please

I stumbled upon two complete non running self propelled mowers. I know they are "ransomes" circa 30's to possibly 40's.
I cannot find very much on these at all. I managed to get both running. In order to save one I was forced to pull apart everything sand and paint even had the seized motor apart. Found many numbers which helped I'd the motor. Villiers mk2.
Any help or info, old poster images etc would be greatly appreciated. This is only my second and third purchase and I'm hooked. I have a feeling this will be a long affair.

A few more pics to help.
Many thanks in advance

Hi andyandeva, I believe that what you have there is a Ransomes, Sims and Jefferies Ltd. 14" Minor Mk 4 with a Villiers engine.
It appears to be the same model as this one:
