Thanks for the pics and info.on the Turner mowers .
I would still like to see the brochure or ad for this Turner mower. (1969-1970Turner)
Yes I agree the D69 is a coincidence on the id plate after checking a VK 30 Turner the number did not match the Turner year model.
1969 / 1970 has to be right for the Turner model A base with the rocket casting.
Looking at Jack's 1969 brochure it shows the Rocket emblem on the hub caps.
Jack mentions the Rocket emblem appeared in brochures in c1967, was 1969 the first year the Rocket emblem appeared on the base and hub caps. ?? (Any pics etc. of the rocket on pre-1969 mowers )
