OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Finding and Swapping Tip & Curb Side Finds Any info - Gardener with Hurricane motor?

Can anyone identify this or any information about it?
Base name is "Gardener 18". It appears complete and not seized and has some compression.
The only identifying mark are the letter and numbers M 252 stamped on the motor
The only non original part appears to be a home made handle, throttle lever and cable are still working. Still has what looks like an original base plate and blades.
I have done the usual google searches and can't find anything relating to a "Gardener 18".

Hi Wayne,

That mower is a good find ,not many have turned up ,I knew there were a few models of Gardener mowers from the old spark plug books
but have only seen the larger Gardener model until now.

Here is the link that works out who the maker could be, although some manufacturers just assembled some mowers and different
models of the same brand could have bases and motors sourced from different manufacturers.
