Hi SB Obsession,

That's a great Atco lightweight you've bought! Going by the model plate it's a 14" from 1954-55.

I'm looking for one myself, but they all seem to appear in Victoria. I need to find one in Sydney.

It's the series that I used to mow our lawns with as a kid. As soon as I was old enough to kick-start the Atco, it was my job. I'm talking circa 1958. I enjoyed running around behind the Atco, but I didn't enjoy trying to use the old and heavy roller blade type edge cutter after the mowing was finished.

This image is from England, but if the kid was wearing a T shirt and shorts and the parents weren't so posh-looking, that's me behind the Atco:
