It's an Atco but what year?
Can anyone identify the year of this machine. It's an Atco Standard I guess but the ones I've seen before have an open fan cooling the engine on the left whereas this has a fan cowling on the right. The number on the frame is 5706.
Thanks

Dating Atco Standard
May be just a coincidence but two of mine had a date written in pencil in the magneto on the plate supporting the points and coil - both 1927 if I remember correctly.
I believe this is a 30" Atco
I believe this is a 30" Atco with the 500 cc JAP Engine. I have one of these. The engine can be dated from its engine number and this is likely to be the date of the mower. Mine engine number is KY/T 79457/S which is 1926.
What year? Atco standard
Thanks to you all for your responses.
Superexcellent's engine no: is similar to mine so I guess we're looking at 1925/26. My engine number is IY/S 34147/S. The blade is 23 inches and the engine certainly looks like a Jap but no manufacturer's labels anywhere I can see.
Clive the carb is an Amal...I'm trying to include a bigger picture with this.
Thanks again
Atco Standard
Hello John
Cutting width, type of engine/carb might narrow it down a bit, I don't think standards were dated so only way is by any modifications & engine changes etc. Rough dating can possibly be done from the engine no's. Can you post larger pictures?
Cheers
