identifing my atco lawnmower
I've just been given an old Atco cylinder mower. As far as I know it is a runner, but would dearly like to get hold of a service manual. I'm turning it into a restoration/modify project. I believe it is from the 60's or 70's and I need to identify what model it is.... any starters would be helpful. i.e. websites. Thankyou

Thankyou You'll almost certainly find that the engine is a 75g14, ie a 75cc iron engine, later models had the awesome 98cc, and then the A98, with the lighter racing aluminium engine. Even later still came electronic ignition. This series of engines has been fitted to Qualcast, Atco, and Suffolk mowers since the dawn of time. They're all much of a muchness, and they're now all under the Bosch banner, but don't bother asking Bosch for parts. Steve |
