I believe that the mower is a later Qualcast 16 with Villiers midget engine.
In fortunately there is some rot through the rear roller, not 100% sure if I could mig fill it or patch and fill. I’m waiting for the new shed to be build, old one almost demolished and I can get it on dry ground, for the time being it’s staying in the wheel barrow.

Thank you, the lady I bought the Howard off is disposing of her father’s collection and had one and I had never seen one before. I am helping her identify what some of the items are so she can get fair prices.

What are the leaf shaped bent arm spades and there use?

Thanks
Take care and stay safe, Mike

Thanks Charlie, I thought I had but can’t see it anywhere, will try again.

I too have just got a bullfinch missing the elbow and drive belt and also leaking at the seals. Could anyone point me the direction of a manual? The Howard site throws up an error if you get past the safety warning. Also what is the rectangular loop near the engagement lever?

Take care and stay safe, Mike.

Kenny, Try servicing the carb, then check and clean fuel tank and replace fuel line.
Don’t forget to service the air filter too.
Take care and stay safe, Mike.
