Good morning ODK Members,
A bit more on the Atco/Vinco, fitted up the magneto and starter pulley and fitted the engine back onto the base.

Going by the numbers the engine was made in 1957 and was number 148.

This advert is dated December 1957 so perhaps the initial batch of mowers in early 1957 carried the Vinco engine before fitting the Villiers?
