Hey all,

After ending up with a fair amount of old mowers and engines, I thought I'd join the forum to get some help with identifying this old mower, and to show off some of my other mowers. I bought it the other day, but I've never seen anything like it! The base is not rusty, and it feels like aluminium, but it's magnetic. After trawling through countless websites and images I have not seen anything close to this old girl. It's running an iron horse with a Masport shroud, but I know it's anything but Masport!!! It does however have, what looks like Masport handlebars. When I purchased it, someone in the questions and answers section suggested it was a "speediescythe", but I have found no evidence of this brand!

The base has no markings anywhere on what it could possibly be. Maybe it had a sticker that is now long gone?

The Iron Horse (D501) will most likely have to come off and be used on another mower when I get around to repairing it, as the aluminium engine mount has cracked, rendering the engine bolt useless (hence the wood to hold the engine up!). I have plans to use a 1967 Briggs, with a like new engine block and internals.

Any help would be much appreciated.
