Got this mower in June this year off ebay. I knew it was bad condition from the pics, but got it fairly cheap. It had been left out in the weather at sometime during its life for a long time. The motor did turn over and seemed to have some compression! Luckly I decided to pull it down anyway and did not try to start it!

I did get to original tank with it even though the pics show an Atco tank. I had to source a new barrel, piston, rings etc. it had already been bored out 080 which is as big as they go and the water that had been in the bore had pitted it to badly.
