Hi Deejay, I've always known that a 1451 would have been a 14", but I learned this morning it would also have been a 1951 model year mower. Did it have cast but polished aluminium hand grips?
I've seen the squeezed exhaust pipe after the muffler on some engines, notably pre-war Velocette motorcycles, but I don't recall seeing it on an ATCO mower. Maybe I have missed it, or maybe it was a tenant's improvement. Was it a 2 stroke? I think I've only seen the short style muffler on 4 strokes, but I could be wrong.
