The 8-bladed Webb Witch is traditionally made push mower with ribbed split rear-rollers and gives a very fine cut, with little effort to the user.

JP Maxees (SOLD - others available)

The JP Maxees is a design classic from the 1950/60s. The mower was made by a company formed by two engineers named Jerram and Pearson (hence the name) in Leicester. The company prided itself on the quality of its design and engineering and JP mowers were known as the 'Rolls Royce of Lawnmowers'. In fact, the two companies did have links through other engineering interests. The mower in the photo is a Mark 3 JP Maxees, dating from the 1960s, and is in very good condition.

Ransomes Ripper

The 1950's Ransomes Ripper is a unique sidewheel lawnmower which was made, as its name suggests, to cope with long tough grass. With its heavy frame, big 10" wheels and strong 6" diameter cutting cylinder, this mower can literally float through four or five inch long grass with ease. It really is a delight to use.

Small Motor Mowers

Light Atco 14 (SOLD - others available)

A classic small lawnmower of its era, built by Atco in the early/mid 1950s to a lightweight aluminium and steel design and powered by a 78cc Villiers, 2-stroke engine with a kick-start. It has a 14 inch cut and the usual manoeuvrability and cutting benefits of a small mower. A favourite with collectors.

Webb 14 (SOLD - others available)

The AB-series of lawnmowers were manufactured in the early 1980s and were some of the best small mowers made. Webb maintained a very high standard of build quality and therefore these mowers have lovely strong cutting cylinders and are robust and well constructed . The Webb 14" uses a 2HP Briggs and Stratton engine which is very powerful for the size of mower and is capable of cutting through thick grass.

Large Motor Mowers

Atco Standard 22

In the early 1920s, when Atco (The Atlas Chain Company of Charles H. Pugh) introduced the Standard, as it later became known, it was the first volume production motor lawnmower and laid the foundations of success for the company for many decades to come. This model is the rare 22" cut mower which has a 250cc Villiers 2-stroke engine, started by handle, and has been restored well in the past before subsequently being completely overhauled by ourselves. A unique mower, a piece of history that can still be used practically today.

Webb 24 (belt driven)

The Webb 24" belt driven lawnmower was one of the most successful large mowers from the 1960s until the early 1980s. Its short 'wheelbase' gave it excellent manoeuvrability and the ribbed, rubber-covered rear rollers very good traction. Originally sold with a Villiers engine, by the late 1970s when this model was made it was supplied with a Briggs and Stratton 5HP unit.

Webb 24 (chain driven) (SOLD - others available)

The Webb 24 chain driven lawnmower, the AB1480, was the last version of this classic mower and considered by many to be the best. As well as having all the excellent features of the previous model, including the 5HP Briggs and Stratton engine, it also had strong chain transmission with clutch plates driving an uprated, heavy duty cylinder. It was made from 1984 to 1987 and was a sad loss when discontinued by Atco who by then owned Webb.

Dennis Premier

The mighty Dennis lawnmower is a favourite with groundsmen and those seeking the ultimate in grass cutting. Of epic proportions, but balanced to retain manoeuvrability, the Premier was designed to run all day, cut large areas of grass to the highest standard and deliver an unparalleled rolling effect, to lawns and sports grounds alike.

The Old Lawnmower Company can offer the Dennis Premier in 30” and 36” cuts, with the classic 600cc Dennis engine with handle start from the 1970s or the more modern Kohler Magnum 12 from 1988.

Finecut Mowers (wickets and greens)

Ransomes Auto Certes (SOLD - others available)

This 1970's Ransomes 20" Auto Certes with its 10-blade cylinder and shaver blade is the classic mower for cricket wicket or bowling green and its derivatives are still used on Test Wickets today. It is powered by the beautifully smooth BSA/Villiers F12 engine.

Lloyds Paladin

The Lloyds Paladin is a classic wicket mower which was first made 50 years ago and is still in production today. It is substantially unchanged apart from the engine and minor operational details and is still used at Lords and other Test grounds - one of its key features is the short 'wheelbase' which prevents the scalping of slight undulations.

This particular model is from 1971, it has a 21 inch cut and is powered by a classic Villiers F15 engine. It has had a 'back to bare metal' repaint and a complete mechanical overhaul including a brand new cylinder and bottom blade. This is a completely reconditioned mower at a fraction of the cost of a new one.

Roughcut Mowers

Ransomes Reelcutter

For controlling uneven areas of grass that become overgrown, the Reelcutter is very useful tool. Its 30 inch, heavy duty 4-blade cutting cylinder will chop up grass and weeds alike, so avoiding a ‘carpet’ of vegetation. The 250cc MAG engine ensures that the Reelcutter is powerful enough to take on demanding work, but the design is more refined than other powered scythes.
