SiC Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 For a new place (with a garage!) you're moving into? I've been quite tempted to get one of the seated ones. Just I have two mowers and a ride on already, I don't need to hoard any more. captain_70s 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stanky Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 Phwoaaar, atco porn. A fully working cylinder mower is a thing of beauty and will give you a lawn to be proud of. There is a damn good reason the lawn bowls lot demand the greens be cut with these. *Goes off to have a lie down* LightBulbFun, captain_70s and De Selby 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

captain_70s Posted September 13, 2022 Author Share Posted September 13, 2022 So aye, tis an Atco 12". Probably late 1950s, as I think by 1960 they'd ditched the cylindrical fuel tank. Ran when parked, spins but no spark, should be a fun wee project. The eagle eyed amongst you have spotted it in a garage. I have indeed acquired AN HOUSE, collected the keys yesterday. The rent would make a grown man cry and I had to move out towards Falkirk to get a decent place for the dosh but hey-ho, it's a big place for two... A garage for a 70s sized car and a driveway for three. Obviously I have a garden now so slammed "vintage lawn mower" into eBay and bought the cheapest one that was nearest. £10, 5 miles away, can't argue with that. wuvvum, greengartside, mat_the_cat and 32 others 35 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
