Ransomes 723d Mower

When contacting the museum please have a note of any serial numbers from the mower and/or its engine. Patent numbers can also be useful. Motor mowers can generally be dated more accurately than hand machines because the production records compiled by Ransomes (and now retained by MERL) are more specific. Spare Parts Spares for engines, clutch cables and fuel systems may be available. It is unlikely that other spares (especially for the mower chassis or body) will be readily available.

Selling Your Mower We can advertise mowers to collectors in our quarterly Grassbox newsletter. Information can be submitted for inclusion.

I have the Operators manual for both diesel and MAG petrol twin engine Ransome Triple mk4s, lots of info. A copy of the engine manual sold just a month or so ago on Epay.UK for 5p, might keep an eye out there, or ask some of the mower shops if the will make you a copy. If you want a copy of my manual, you will have to email me, its 12.3MB, maybe I can download it to the manuals section EDIT: I also have a Instructions and Maintenance Instructions Spare Parts List for the MAG 2055 SRL, but it is in French. I've got a workshop manual. I'll scan and upload it later. I've omitted two pages illustrating special tools but can add them if needed. I notice that some of the correspondence and manuals that I have are dated 1970 so Headexam may be a bit pessimistic in attributing Mag's demise to the 1950s.

As always pessimistic. I have a problem believing much, supposedly the company ceased to exist in 1957, but they may not be the case, Bolens mower history is proof of that, never say never, lol, you got me on that one. Of course literature and manufacturing are quite different. But I believe you may be correct sir as in the early 50s Kuchen designed German motorcycles were sold as Motosacoche's, but this was a failure and by 1956 motorcycles were no being made, but MAG stationary and industrial motors continued.
