There is quite a few engines they you would associate with Lawnmowers. Greens mowers original had there own 2 stroke developed from a bike engine.

Later in life the Norman T300 and T600 was fitted to there larger mowers, I did have a picture but cant seem to find it!

Lets not forget the Ideal! one lawnmower engine that seems to break the rule about lawnmower engines!

All engines are worth doing up, you'll probably find there's not much wrong with it.

Looks to be a late JAP 5.

Neither worth a lot of money, but as Stu said all engines are worth saving.
