Hello ODK History Lovers

The Model 51 Ranger was Rover’s first ride-on lawnmower.
After 15 plus years of faithful service it was pretty clear that
solid but basic design had not aged well. It was way past its
use-by date.

The Model 52 Ranger XC was the replacement for the ol’ 51.
It had little in common with the old design. This new 30” design
(previously 27”) had a 5-speed transmission (replacing the
primitive friction plate drive), and all modern controls and styling.

This 4-page brochure, represents the new Ranger XC for 1985,
when the GWA Group owned Rover-Scott Bonnar Limited.



In the mid-1980s Rover was the largest Australian owned
manufacturer of lawnmowers and garden machinery.
