Dear Syamasundara Prabhu,

 

PAMHO. AGTSP.

 

As far as I know they are not made anymore. There is a fatehr and son about

1 hour from Gita Nagari who recondition them for aliving. I don't know if

they would export to England. I'll call them and find out. The mower

inquestion is a McCormick-Deering # 9 High Gear. The last I checked (several

years ago) they were asking $650 US for a completely reconditioned mower

with metal or rubber tires (your choice).

 

Have you tried to research mower makers in your part of the world. There is

a book titled " Tools for Agriculture" put out by Intermediate Technology

publications. They are the publishing arm of International Technology

Development Group which is based at 103/105 Southampton Row, London WC1B

4HH, UK ISBN# 1 85339 100 X

 

When I was in Belarus the devotees had a mower that was made in Poland.

Maybe you can contact the farm inPoland to see if they have contacts.

 

You may also want to place a letter of inquiry in Small Farmer's Journal for

contacts in your part of the world. The magazine is a wealth of information

and well worth the subscription. Their address is: Small Farmer's Journal

P.O. Box 1627

Sisters, Oregon 97759 USA

The mower's address is:

B.W. Macknair & Son

3055 U.S. HWY 522 North

Lewistown, PA 17044 USA

Stay in touch.

 

Your servant,

Balabhadra das
