OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Restoring, Customising and Modifying Reel-Type Mowers Another Atco 14" mower.

Hi my name is Shane and this is my first post. I have recently bought my first Atco reel mower. I'm not sure whether I will fully restore or keep as a running survivor. I have restored an old car to an original standard before but like the original survivor cars as well, so may just keep it running.
I believe it has a Villiers Midget Mk1 79cc? engine and has a 14" cutter. Anyone wish to try and date it (does not have the brass tag in place). I have cleaned the fuel system and the engine runs well. When I engage the clutch, the mower drives but the cutter only spins sometimes.


Found that the cutter drive pawls, springs and pins are all missing
Are these parts available from anywhere in Australia, maybe the UK?
Any help would be much appreciated. I have attached photos below of the cutter sprocket.



Kind regards,
Shane
