Thanks guys. I was given an old one of these (similar - villiers engine, but used a manual cone clutch), when I was a teenager in the early eighties. I chopped it to pieces and adapted it to a go kart chassis that I made out of water pipe. It went. But we later put a victa 160cc on it. I learned a lot as a kid getting that thing to work. Love the nostalgia.

that was really cool. my Dad had one in the 60's and it is what i learned to do mechanical things on. now i design machinery for a living and the other day i bought a Ransome 18" Minor from the eco shop for $30. same engine but kick start. how did you make the decals coz i need Ransome ones for my mower? make more videos.

Editing in this has more cuts than that lawnmower has ever seen

[jamesdavis]

Incredible choice of music.
May I suggest turning new Teak rollers?

[joshstevens]

Where did you track down the exploded view of the mower from?

[rodkerr]

Hey guys ... what is the chance of getting a set of decals ....

[lukevanvliet]

[heinzkonig]

The same engines with a gearbox where put in Norwegian tempo motorcycles

[marcusinns]

Hi I was wondering if you know how to tell the hp between lawnmowers if the labels have come off. Thanks

[lachlanwestrupp]

I have the exact same mower in similar condition to before the restoration . Needs new rings . This one has an alloy piston . Thought ut would be iron like the 79 cc motor i have

[biggaspirit]

Clever stuff. Better with volume turned off.

[MrSubielove]

nice restoration but that mower sucks!
