Hi Gary Got the 2 pics O.K and have replied in some depth as to what I think.
On looking back thru the posts on this subject I see Bruce refers to it as Villiers -Hurricane, I seem to recal the Hurricane was ageneral purpose engine and did not realize it had any connection at all with Villiers
Two of these Huricane engines were of 125 and 180 cc and were used on Atom outboards / I dont thin Atom were any relation to the present day Atom range of garden edgers but could be wrong.
Any way getting back to Gary's mopwer. a
At around the time it wass made there were as I have just counted in ACL piston ring book for the year 1963 no less than 60 Yes 60 lawn mowers here on the Aussie market. Some I ihave seen and put under the hammer and they have to to smelters. Some I have still got frames etc of which are not enev in the book Pinnock for one. Singer for another.
What I am getting at here is the fact that so many were made they have been forgotten about. I have a pic of a Rover mower chassis . Very nicely made with a side wheel adjuster and though I have in the past sent pics of it to Rover ,they dont know anything about it.
So what hope have we got about fing out who made Gary"s mower. Does any body have a Website where pics could be posted to so we can all have alook?????????????/ Regards Joe
