New distraction - Atco 1264

Yesterday I finally collected a mower I was promised in 1992! I don't hurry these things...

Turns out to be an Atco 1264 and it's got issues. The engine is seized, one end bracket on the fuel tank has broken (though the tank is so try it'll weld without risk), the tank is rusty, the sole plate is very rusty indeed, and I'm quite sure it never left the factory with a jubilee clip holding the silencer in place. However it's small, cute, and I hope a good way into playing with 4-strokes. It's even got a grassbox - though very bent and worn - though for some reason all trace of Atco transfers has vanished. Very odd. 

Apologies for the sodding awful photo, not a lot of spare space in the shed. Also note there's at least a bit visible of all of my other mowers in the pic.
