expeatfarmer 591 #1 Posted May 8, 2015 My 30" Ransomes TB engined mower was in my garage/workshop, I turned on the petrol, tickled the carb. turned the crank and it started first pull after 6 months !! Decided that whilst it was running I better cut the grass. If any one needs a crash fitness programme buy one of these, open the throttle the slightest amount and it takes off with you at the run. The machine is a Ransomes Mk 11 30" mower which dates from late 1930's 1 Triumph66 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stormin 4,458 #2 Posted May 8, 2015 Didn't you try cutting fence posts down with that last year? Or was that t'other one? BTW. If I squint, I can see my house on that photo'. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Triumph66 1,256 #3 Posted May 8, 2015 That's a lovely vintage cylinder mower. I use to mow the Croquet Lawn at Castle Drogo with a 42 " Dennis mower which in my professional opinion is one of the nicest cylinder mowers on the market at the time. You can't beat them for presentation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ian 2,417 #4 Posted May 9, 2015 That is quite a beast It could be a wise move to fit a tow behind seat to it to save your legs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
expeatfarmer 591 #5 Posted May 11, 2015 I have one to fit it but the roller is fused to the shaft, have it soaking in diesel to free it off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
