Jenny you are right - Ransomes still manufacture mowers (you must now call them turf maintenance machines!) as RansomesJacobsen the subsidiary of an American holding company.
I think the equipment is still made in Plymouth (more famous for it's gin made at The Black Friars Distillery) in the UK.
Ransomes equipment is long lasting. My own Ransomes motor mower, inherited from my father, reaches it's 50th anniversary this year.
