I have just acquired two lawnmowers and wondered if any member can help with dating these machines.
First is a Suffolk Punch model 10 Mower no 81762.
Second is a Qualcast Suffolk Electronic Punch No 069092
Thanks in advance.

Hi Dave
It would be very helpful to include a photo preferably from the front showing a 3/4 section to include a side as well
Kind regards

Hi Dave
The answer is yes, as we hold all the dating records from Ransomes.

Your machine is a Ransomes Marquis 20 Inch model MK 4A, The 4A started production in August 1967 and ended in March 1974,
Your machine carries a late number which was built in the factory in late December 1973, which would have been sold new into the spring season in 1974.
Hope this information helps
Regards
Andrew
