OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Collectors Corner Collectables Lawn Patrol - Fuel Can

Thought I'd keep an eye out for things to compliment the mower.. So it's a start :D

Hello Vmow
I guess this is the first modern image recording of a Lawn Patrol fuel can.
I am surprised at the good condition of it!
I have never seen one.

This is a great addition to our record of the Lawn Patrol.

Many thanks.

Might as well add this pic in here; it's one that ozwrenches had for sale in 2016.



The description said that the cap has a half pint oil measure attached.

Haven't taken the lid off yet
Was going to put up the side views, but file too large, so it'll have to wait.

Side views.
Same stall had a Scott Bonnar can as well.

When does it date from?

Well I took the cap off mine this morning...all full of expectation
Nothing but a plastic seal
No idea of date? don't even know the exact date of my mower

Hello Vmow, Mowerfreak, Gadge and all,
It became trendy to associate lawnmowers with petroleum companies in the late 1950s.

Given that Boundy (now, Wiltshire owned) ceased 2-stroke production in about 1961,
the safest guess is that this can dates from the late 1950s.

Hope this helps.

Great looking and hard to find can!

Jack I can get you some pictures of cans that I doubt you have ever seen I've got a Pace can from around 1957, a Scott-Bonnar/Flymo, a 1930's lawn mower oil can, and the list goes on!

Also regarding a date on this can, Castrol starting using this logo around 1958, so we can narrow it down to 3 years.

I have also seen many others on Facebook in other peoples collections that will blow your mind!

Love to see pics of others!

Hello gents. I bought the petrol can shown above from ozwrences. It was lined with oil and is in great sealed condition and looks great in the middle of my 3 baby LP's. Regards,

Some cool looking cans there for sure

Hello Lawn Patrol enthusiasts.The restoration work on grandfather's Lawn Patrol started 2 years ago by sourcing and replacing the electronics. With my engineering brother's help we gave it a very good run and it works a treat. I have attached photos of some work so far and a photo of a non-snorkelled earlier model I also have. I will finish the project mid year and provide photos of the finished project then.
