[p.s. As a related anecdote. When my father put an extension on our house
post-war, the story is that he moved a whole section of roof using the
old Qualcast mower. Apparently the mower collapsed just as the job was done!]

A related backyard invention was the mower as wheelbarrow.
This article dates from 1952:-
