Well you've come to the right place for help.
The 450407 is listed in the Model sheet for 1974-75.
Mod Bonnar Bloke will ask for some specific photos to ascertain
the transmission and frame condition.
The crank start is referred to as a trip-release wind up.
This one was used extensively on various engines in the 1960s.
It is novel that someone has put it on a horizontal Kirby!
Here is some stuff on the 45 (to read in the meantime)
