The Cultivator Oct 2023 ?

On flicking through the latest magazine I was surprised to see on page 13 an image that purported to be a 1951 Lawnmower made by Indian Motorcycles.
It is actually a scratch-built mower made from scrap in around 2016 by a guy in the USA.
Has absolutely nothing to do with Indian Motorcycles, he called it “Lil Scalper” & attached an Indian toy to the front merely because it corresponded with the logo of the Tecumseh engine he used.
We need to be careful not to publish internet hearsay without thorough research to avoid giving more credence to suspect facts.

We are aware of the ‘fake’machine and a follow on article will appear in the December issue warning members of the perils of relying on unverified information on the internet or in print.
It will be interesting to see how many spot the fake.
