Hello ODK History Lovers

The Loukon lawnmower(s) are almost a total mystery. I only have a few records.

These machines date from the early 1960s. The brochure says they were manufactured by
Loukon Engineering Pty. Ltd. who had premises on the corner of Waterview Street & Bellevue Parade,
Carlton, N.S.W.

I have dated the lawnmower in the advertisement to the early 1960s because of its design.
The machine had an alloy base and a distinctive height lever located behind the rear axle.

Of note is that the mower could be fitted with two or four blade assemblies, and that there
were 'thrower blades' offered with the optional grass catcher.

One other record I have says that the side-discharge model was also offered with a Villiers engine
(I'm assuming a 2-stroke). Also, interestingly, there is evidence that Loukon made a rear catcher model,
fitted with the Kirby Lauson engine.

That's about all I know about the Loukon Lawnmower.
