OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Restoring, Customising and Modifying Victa Walk-Behind Rotary Mowers H G Palmer

Hi ODK Members,

Something that I spotted in another post, this is my second HG Palmer of this style. I noticed this advert



The same base but advertised as a Walmac fitted up with a JAP engine, what an industry.

G'day Paul
I'm glad you posted that one.
I have spent many-an-hour researching Walmac.

I am not ready to write a record on Walmac Electrical Products yet.
... I need more time to do that.

I feel comfortable in saying this: -
Walmac was formed post WWII and gained notoriety in the manufacture
of gas and electrical stoves and florescent lighting units.

By the early 1960s, it expanded into other consumer goods, including
the manufacture of lawnmowers.

I am almost certain that Walmac made many HG Palmer branded lawnmowers.
I know Walmac had the capacity and experience to do this.

The mower factory was located at 23 Lusty Street, Arncliffe, NSW.
That was not their first address, nor their last.

Walmac would be dissolved c1975.

I hope to write something about Walmac this year.

Cheers
