Mountfield Empress petrol lawnmower, roller drive, (elect. Start needs battery)

  

THIS IS THE CAST ALUMINIUM MODEL THAT WAS BUILT TO LAST. I have had this rear roller drive mower from new and it has. Been very well cared for. As you would expect it has had one or two repairs over the years but on the whole it is in quite good condition.

It starts with just a couple of pulls and runs ok, but tends to "hunt" a little when warmed up so probably needs a carburettor clean - still works fine though! At the end of last season it had an oil change, new plug, air filter, blade, drive belts and de-coke.

Deck wash connector was also added a year or so ago. It is an electric start model but would need a battery for this to operate. I have not bothered getting a new battery as it starts easily enough with the rope pull. This is quite an old model from an era when Mountfield was making high quality machines. NEEDS TO GO TO A GOOD HOME.
