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…[Read more]
