Does anybody know who might undertake this work in Shrewsbury /Shropshire / West Midlands ? and what it would likely cost ?

Many Thanks

Can't help you much but it was sold by montgomery wards and I would say your right on the vintage if the engine is vertical shaft. Vertical shaft was post WWII and by the sixties wards had split lawn and garden away from the hardware dept. The first two didgits in the model being 84 indicates hardware dept. Lawn and garden was dept. 89.
