PART TWO - SpecificationThis was an all-steel lawnmower with all components made of sheet steel or
bar. There were no castings. Clearly, this was a mower suited to Australia's
fledgling steel industry. However, It was not unique in using steel on a
pushie. Competition would come from Adam's competitor,
Clyde Engineering,
with their all-steel Clyde lawnmowers.
The wheel gears and pinions were machine cut from solid blanks and a ratchet
system replaced the common pawl arrangement (I am unsure how that worked).
This was a well-speced mower in that self-adjusting ball bearings were used
throughout, including the steel rear roller.
