OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Finding and Swapping Rare Finds & Donations Loukon Lawn Mower

Hi ODK members,

Picked this up today thanks to another collector, A Loukon mower. Engine is locked up but the base is in excellent condition, a strip and restore is in the wind for this rare gem.

Hi Paul
Very good images for provenance there.

These were a small NSW mower maker that made quality lawn mowers.

But they did something bold: as a small player, they ventured to make
a domestic self-propelled rotary as well!

It is highly likely they made Australia's first self-propelled domestic
rotary lawnmower. Amazing!

It is great that this one is saved.

Hi ODK Members,

Some good news on the Kirby engine fitted to my Loukon, it wasn�t seized but just had a stuck flywheel due to mud cocoons.

Also another one has surfaced with what looks like a JAP engine fitted.

Hi Paul
Yes, those damn mud cocoons.
[This would be a great name for a heavy-metal band,
or, maybe, a North American banjo boy band ]

There is evidence that Loukon did use the JAP (as described).
I say this because of the Ezy-Cut 2-stroke ...

Any ideas?

Hi CyberJack,

Very much the same bar the Ezy-Cut lettering. I offered up a set of Model 3 Victa bars to mine today to check the fit and they are identical.
