Ransomes 12inAJAXMK5
Hi.
I recently purchased a Ransomes 12inAJAXMK5 push mower. Patent no. 887163.
It's a lovely mower, and very easy to use and gives a very good cut. I was wondering
if anyone could tell me the age of my mower. It is missing a grass box, and was wondering
where I may get one from.
It's so nice to be able to use without electricity and annoying cables, and at the same time
getting a good workout.
Thankyou

Speculative question;
If the Ajax (presumably a mk6) were now in production, what would the retail cost be?
using £14.10 in 1970 as a start (from http://www.oldlawnmowerclub.co.uk/moms/mom43-ajax.htm), this inflation calculator:

says £195.85

MK5 Ajax
Hi,
the Mk5 was the last Ajax & production ended in 1972. For more information, have a look at the Mower Profile on the Ajax on this site:
http://www.oldlawnmowerclub.co.uk/moms/mom43-ajax.htm
Grass boxes can be hard to come by on their own, but car boot sales and ebay can sometimes yield results. Ajax mowers with boxes are quite common on ebay and can sell for very low prices (but can also sell for ridiculously high sums, so be careful).
I hope this is of some help.
