10 Blades !

I read with interest the article in the latest Grassbox about the annual AGM in Milton Keynes. I managed to cram in about 15 mowers in my car to display including one of my JP Supers. I included it within the anniversary display of JP’s. I can already hear you saying why am I bothering to discuss a JP Super when they have been discussed and featured hundreds of times throughout the Club. I am featuring it here as it was not mentioned in the Grassbox article . The interesting feature of this mower is that the cutting cylinder has 10 blades and not the normal maximum of 8. This could be the only 10 blade Super around unless anyone else can tell me otherwise. Certainly no members of the Club in Milton Keynes have ever seen one and cannot explain this one. No hybridisation seems to have been in play and the mower looks to be totally unmolested. Enjoy the photos.

What a fantastic mower, JP did produce a Bowling Green/Golf Green model 1948-1963, I think yours from the serial number is one of these (code AX) & the 2nd model produced in July 1950.

I seem to remember from a brief discussion with Henry Ellis our JP expert that their were possibly two different models Bowling & Golf, one had a slightly different arrangement for the roller?

No doubt Henry can add further to this & correct me if wrong.

Well, that's really rather super ! For professional use surely ?

Has the bottom blade been upgraded to maximise the effect I wonder.

Hi Will, sorry for late reply. This mower wasn’t from Pickering but I can’t say whether it was originally but I didn’t get it from there. I hope this helps.
