Good to see another Atco Tractor appear, this tractor most definitely comes under rare breed!
Under the heading lost items of the modern world, I know a chap called Mr Wallingfield who owns the brochure and the manual for the Atco Tractor printed in 1932 which was the year of introduction

I should forget about European laws by the time this will come through we will not be part of Europe!
Remember Brexit

Strange no offers of help? All lawn mower collectors must be off line!
Your machine would be made by Atco between 1936 and 1938
If you are going to strip that clutch watch out for the springs, don’t loose them!

Hi
No need to go to the Old Lawn Mower Club web site, you can get all the answers here with the real professionals.
Your Atco is from the season 1938, it looks like a 17 inch medium weight machine from the pictures, though your exhaust is from a post war machine, the original exhaust should be near enough to the size and shape to the petrol tank.
The Atco lawn mowers from the 1930’s can be very deceiving as there were many models produced from 1932 to 1939 rest assured The Hall & Duck Trust houses all the correct documents.
Further we also house all the dating records for Ransomes Motor Mowers

Yep plenty of Ransomes MG Crawler stuff, but all will be auctioned, as its the fairest way, you all know the web site and our Mr Wallingfield has a shop! There’s no ending to his talents

What a great idea, putting a Blue plaque on a Brewery wall.Well you can see our Budding Lawn Mower but at that point in time, we were trying the beverages inside!

[hdtrust]

Its commonly called A ‘Grape Eye’ and can come in different shapes,used for climbing plants on walls by hammering them in the cement joints.
The modern version is made from flat steel with a hole in the top

Hi
British Overhead Irrigation Ltd, had its factory on the site what is now Shepperton Studios,near to Kingston upon Thames, London.
Nice sprinkler it was made from the late 1920’s to the mid 1930’s.

Well done!

Very informative.
In fact brilliant.
Hats off from The Hall & Duck Trust

Mr Wallingfield says your seat is being warmed up. There will be emergency alcohol to hand, in the form of Sloe Vodka and I’m sure lighting will be fixed up knocked off from the villages illuminations, hope you don’t mind the fairy!

The OLC was set up with the cylinder mower in mind, then later with the rotary.Allen scythe by definition are for cutting long grass not lawns, is the answer in the title!

I do hear that the OLC are having their 25th Anniversary next year, at this rate they will be expecting a deputation of Wheel Horses.

There annual auction is going to be reduced to 30 lots in the hope to get the quality up.
Perhaps they will be auctioning Allen-scythes!
