Hello
ODK History Lovers
The
Ransomes Minor Mark 7 was a reel mower manufactured by the famous firm
Ransomes, Simms & Jefferies from about
late 1956. The Ransomes
Minor MK 7 is an important machine in that its design DNA lingers
in many reel mowers made around the world today.
The great New Zealand firm,
Morrison, would build their licensed version as their own
Morrison Olympic in the
early 1960s, and they would re-sell (and export) the design as a knock-down kit, or re-badged it, to become
the Australian
Victa Imperials or the
Turner-Morrisons. Masport, who bought
Morrison, would successfully
market the design world-wide. Have a close look at the current
Atco range some time ...
