	Bought a 64 year old nigh on mint Atco petrol lawn mower from an old guy who had treasured it. Still got makers brass plate so i know its 14 inch cut 1951 vintage. Cleaned out the carb and decoked the exhaust so far. Great spark / compression etc Waiting on some fuel pipe and hopefully fresh fuel will spring the old girl into life. Then acquired a roller with draw bar and seat so hopefully going to mate them together for some garden fun. Anyone on here doing / done same type of thing Not bothered about keeping originality if needs dictate to modify and create a one off as not looking to resell. Appreciated

	I once bought a westwood mower with the intention of sticking an fzr 600 engine in, did loads of work then gave up!

	A bit late to the party here, is this the sort of thing your thinking about Scoobforester? I bought this old Webb for a bit of grass cutting. After a bit of tuning I blew the engine apart! Lot's of chopping and changing later it emerged from my workshop sporting a Qwakasaki Z200 engine, Harley end cans and a custom seat with wishbone suspension Gazz81 - It's a shame you never finished the Westwood, it would of been a fun machine.
