14" Atco needs a good home

Enter a word or two to search the forum section and click the Search Forum button.

I have just joined the club so hello everyone.

I have two Atco mowers and want to pass one of them on to a good home as I don't use it. This is a 14" (1950 / 60s?) 4-stroke petrol. The engine runs ok, although does struggle or cuts out when engaging the clutch. The wood rollers have some woodworm but other than this it is not in bad nick really it has a metal collection box in reasonably good condition. See pictures.

I don't want any money for it as long as someone can collect it (I can deliver locally) and it goes to a good home. I am based near Derby in the Midlands.

 

Other than this I am a regular user of an old 24" Atco petrol 4-stroke - not sure of the model which is very reliable. I did read today with interest another member's comment about having to run to keep up with it and I am planning to use my creative engineering skills to see if I can change the gearing on mine a bit - will keep you posted. 

Look forward to hearing from anyone regarding the 14"

Best regards

Andy

Hello Andy

Welcome to the club, a nice original Atco, could I suggest you also put it in our classified sale section as will receive more coverage.

Interesting to hear of your plans to slow the mower down, look forward to hearing more.
