Hello Adam

So we now have a name for your machine: it's a Whirlwind 16.
It is not a Whirlwind 18", nor a 19" Tornado.

Because it is powered with a 7F Villiers, first used on AUS mowers
in very late 1957, your machine probably dates from 1958 or 1959.
I do not believe it can date from any later than 1959.

I believe Kye has said to you that the engine may reveal a date stamp,
which may get the exact year of production. That would be interesting.

I have renamed this topic Whirlwind 16 Lawnmower, so that we can document it
in a focused way.

Thanks to Kye for identifying this mower as one of interest.
The Whirlwind record is far from complete.

Thanks Adam for helping us compile a record on this machine.
