OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums The History Forum The Old Soap Box Ogden Power Reel Mower M series ??

Hi all,

Could anyone help me out with a bit of info on a Ogden Power Reel Mower I bought yesterday? I believe it is an 'M' series or at least that's what the guy thought it was. I was hoping someone would have a downloadable manual and it's missing the catcher, so I am hoping someone might know someone who may have one. Thanks guys, I'm a new member of the forum and love the nature of the discussions. By the way I live in Queensland Australia. Many thanks Spanaman.

Ps. I have photos but I am having issues posting them. 😳

A warm welcome to the ODK forums, Spanaman.

The info in this thread in ODK's History section may be helpful in working out which model you have; https://www.outdoorking-forum.com.au/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=62260

Thanks Gauge, much appreciated.

It definitely looks like a m series checking against the photos on the link you posted.

Are they still fairly common, and I'm missing the catcher, would this be an easy item to find in good condition?

Thanks again for your help.

Hello Spanaman & Gadge

These are not common, though a couple seem to come up for auction
every year. Catchers are not that easy to find, although one from
an Ogden push mower would probably fit. Ogden pushies appear more
regularly on eBay.

Hope this helps.

hey spanaman this may help you for future searches as they have a trojan mini motor on board.

Some more Ogden information here

Thanks Guys, that's fantastic information. Hard to believe this technology is over 60 years old.

I am thinking of rebuilding it from the ground up, so does anyone have a link to the complete manual??

I am happy to give a good donation to this great forum and site. Its nice to get on a forum not filled with 'know it all's' and 'told ya so's'

PS: How do I post a photo? I would like to get your opinion on what model I have?

Thanks again.

Hello Spanaman

That's great news!

Information on how to post images HERE.

We have not been able to find a manual for the chassis, but
it is similar to the Model B push mower.

Hope this helps.
