Hi Jack,

So what I've always thought is correct, the Lawn King was basically a "Walmart" Special as it had the bare basics on it, used the smallest entry level engine (2.0HP) and the cheapest to make handle bar. Thus it could be sold exclusively at larger stores with a Bunnings like format and not tread on the upmarket sellers toes that were loyal to the brand. Nearly 60 years have passed and not much has really changed has it. Walmart in the USA still get budget versions of many things made exclusively for them and are not available in any other store.

And they reckon you have to go to school to learn marketing, yeah right !

PS I always love reading your stuff as many simply are not interested, I love it, actually I thrive on it.

BTW

Jacks Comment,
I would argue that this is a good reason why the pram handle was
not offered as an 'option' for the Model 45.
[I have argued the pram handle was a branding tool]

I'm just wondering why I have fallen across so many Green SB 45's with the Pram Bar including my Father In Laws Green 45 17 inch which he purchased new.

This really puzzles me


Cheers,
BB
