Suffolk Colt
NB This is a sub-section of Suffolk Iron Foundry (1920)
1959 The Suffolk Colt was introduced by Suffolk Iron Foundry; it went on to become one of the most popular motor mowers of the 1960s. Many thousands were produced and plenty are still in regular use.
The design of the Suffolk Colt was very similar to that of the earlier Suffolk Punch although it was smaller and more compact. Both machines had a number of features in common, including almost identical versions of Suffolk's own 75cc four stroke engine. This engine (designated the 75G) was produced in a number of different variations (and in larger capacities) for use on motor mowers from the 1950s through to the 1970s and it proved to be a very reliable power unit. The Colt had a 12" cutting width.
After this the design was changed gradually and later models often had slightly different names, such as the Super Colt and Super Punch.
