OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Finding and Swapping For Sale ARCHIVE: Restorers Dream - Reel Mowers Parts etc

Hi Guys, after a few years doing restos of vintage motorised cylinder mowers i've changed direction and need to sell my collection of unrestored mowers. There are approx 30 a mix of atcos, ransomes, qualcast, JP 1930's to 50's. there are 9 or 10 disassembled atcos 1940-1950's. most parts have been restored and painted awaiting assembly. 9 villers engines all ok but need some work.

this would be ideal for an enthusiast/restorer with some time on their hands. also for sale is a FOLEY cylinder grinding machine which i bought for the restos. Possibly also sandblaster.

Anyone interested please call on 0401709321 or come and see for yourself Taylors Lakes Victoria.

i'd rather sell to to someone interested in keeping these treasures alive.

cheers Peter

Hi Peter, any chance of some pics please mate?

Hi Darryl, it's all packed away but i'll try and get some photos posted over weekend cheers Peter

Thanks Peter, much appreciated.

Hi Peter,

Given my interest in Atco mowers I may be interested in some of the Atcos. If it is possible, could you advise the cut width and the approximate year of manufacture. I look forward to seeing the photos

Many thanks,
Marc

Hi Marc, photos coming in the next 24 hours. cut width of intact mowers is 17,14,12, mnfr years 49-56. the other 10-12 dismantled are same period mainly 14inch plus a couple 12 and 17, when you see picks a couple are almost ready for assembly. all nuts,bolts have been zinc plated to stop rust.(again see photo of case full of these bits 100's) there are 10 villiers engines all turn over. cheers Peter

here's the photos heaps more parts incl rollers x 11, heaps of bearings, the grinder does a great job new ruby wheel x 2 . I'd like to sell as one lot. happy to answer any questions but please no time wasters. cheers Peter
