The Ransomes Minor Mk6 restoration

While dropping some junk off at the local recycling centre, I stumbled on this Ransomes Minor Mk6 lawnmower. Labelled "Spares and repairs only", I heaved it home hoping that the latter would apply and that I'd be able to get this piece of 1950's tech back on the lawn. In this video I set out to see if the engine runs before committing to a full overhaul.
