Wow it's good to see so many helpful people.I might just in-fact go out to mugga lane tomorrow now and have a good look.I haven't been out there since the big uproar as to who was running the joint. [Linked Image]

I knew that was the sort of carby it was suppose to have,manly because I don't have one.I have seen them before.On starts the search for one.After pulling mower down I can see what had happened.Somebody had ran over a fishing net with it and it all got tangled on top of the cutting disc and on the bottom of the crank shaft.Enough there I believe to make the engine stall and not run again.So my guess is they didn't realize so they just tossed the mower out.The only reason engine is seized as it doesn't have the carby.To answer your questions (Mr Davis)The stem on the fuel cap is broken.It does have all the 5 small bolts on cowl.I was going to save the starter in hope that new stickers could be obtained.I am certainly interested in the parts you said you have.It would almost be all the parts I need.I think as far as the catcher is I may have to take a crash course in fibre-glassing as I believe it is going to be the only way to save it.It is fairly extensive damaged.I posted the pictures you wanted,the pipe and the hose for the decompression valve are still intact.
I think the soaking in oil to un-seize sounds like a great idea.So I will leave at that and go and start pouring oil into combustion camber.
Thank You all for your advice.
