Hello ODK history lovers
Brisbane’s Owen Herbert Cox started making ride-ons in the early 1960s.
As such, he was a pioneer of AUS-made ride-ons in Australia. His Cox
Mow-Mobile followed a North American design trend of making some
ride-ons look like ... automobiles.

However, styling trends, and the demand for larger ride-ons meant that
Cox would introduce its first ‘garden tractor’ (invented again by the
North Americans) to mimic the farm tractors in the agricultural sector.
Garden tractors were, if you like, small farm tractors.

This brochure dates to the early 1980s, and it presents the late Series I
and early Series II Cox Compact Tractors.

PART TWO – The Brochure
This brochure – from my collection – is in great condition.

Note the cosmetic differences between the Series I and Series II tractors.

I find it amusing that the styling expectations of the day meant headlights
on a lawnmower! So useful for most folks
