Hi Paul& Kye
It is so rare to find any 1950s mower in such exceptional, original
condition. That red retains its richness after more than half a century!
I love the 'U-Dial' height adjusters too, and this is the first one I've
seen that retains some starter bits. But my favourite feature must be the
teardrop fuel tank and magneto-type font on the decals.
For me, the styling exemplifies many things I associate with 1950s
America - as seen in science fiction cartoon books of the day: the
atom; Sputnik and the Space Race; the power of Atomic energy!
If there was a lawnmower on Mars it would have been this little Atom!
Paul, may I confirm that this is the 49cc Tor (not the bigger one).
Also, in the video, the carby is seriously vibrating up and down.
Is it the manifold that is causing this?
I hope to write a record on Atom and Mofast this year.
All very atomic.
