Hello ODK History Lovers

Here is a Mower Maintenance Guide from the late 1950s.
It�s a great resource for collectors in that it gives good information on a wide number of lawnmower and engine makes.

I have scanned the Guide and split it into three convenient parts.

MAKES COVERED:-

PART ONE

This part covers pages 1 through 18.

Part One presents a general introduction, operating instructions, magneto service, and
maintenance of Dellorto, Amal, and Villiers carburettors.

PART TWO

Part Two presents information on Victa carburettors, Spark Plugs, Lawn Care and an interesting list
of manufacturers not covered in detail in the guide.

The final section, �Decarbonising and Specifications�, covers the makes: Ogden, Victa, Qualcast,
