Ideal, thanks to you both, thats a great start and in my native tongue from Alan! I’ll let you know how I get on, its to cut grass twixt christmas Tree rows incidently!

This evening I collected the machine and what a well kept little gem she is. small Villiers mk 10 I think,with a rope start.No recoil starting on this model. date approx 1953. Have also the original owners hand book. Has had two owners from new only. the first was an engineer,who I guess spoilt it rotten. the next is an undertaker and I suppose when he had cut his lawn always sent it to the shed with style..ho ho must not give up the day job. so this is the smallest cyclinder engine powered one which ATCO made.
It can be a problem price of tyres, I’ve never found anybody who is very reasonable but once you get them its not to do again . but you can still have a nice project on older tyres . Keep up the good work
oh yeah it lives again . just got on website again too so more joy I’ve being missing out . keep up the good work ,by the way that must be a record for simar kids engine restoration
Hello Owen. Many thanks again for the advice much appreciated, I didn’t think of that one. I’ll be changing the fuel etc tomorrow and start to get things cleaned out.
Hi Martin. welcome to the new forum. I to have the same ailment as yourself I get myself in knots over it at times and it shows in my pattisson resto. trying to upload my first photo just had me climbing the wall. and also the first upload of a video. Never mind it all works out in the end.
It would be the first time that I have had a pair of machines at a show in the lawn mower section and I will look forward to that day. and thanks Paul for the confidence boost.
thank you Ray it was not far from where I work. the engine looks similar to a mk 25. have not collected it yet and I only had this photo to go on,so its all a bit sketchy at the moment. I know there is lots of knowledgeable folk on here and from the photo I think they will deliver.
Nice display there, and looks like the weather was ok for you guys over there! Better than here anyhow! Already trees down in my area and my fence was a casualty this morning 🙁
