Identifying a Atco mower

[LesW]

Hi to all forum members, I wonder if anyone can identify a Atco Petrol Mower from the Model Number.

Basically I have a Qualcast Classic 35, Model F016305542
E-45520E.  Engine is a Tecumseh AQ148 E—455 S1159R
This needs a few parts to get it up and running and on wandering around a local auction I noticed a very similar looking lawnmower that is coming up for auction in Friday.
I am thinking if there are sufficient common parts I can cobble together the two mowers to get a working one.

The one in the auction is called a 'Atco Cylinder Petrol 14S'
(See photo) and the serial plate says 'Type F016 303142 579'
Yr 2000 0810000341.   The engine plate says 'AQ 148 E-45020E S9340E' Made in Italy

My question is, is it possible to check if there are a number of common parts, primarily in the belts and gear train area.

Thanks to anyone responding.

Some parts will be common to both, but they made quite a few changes during the years that I doubt all of them will be interchangeable.

Google for parts lists for both of them and compare the part numbers, assuming you can find the parts lists. I did find one for your machine here, https://www.diyspareparts.com/parts/qualcast/diagrams/f016305542/

I didn't have so much luck with the Atco.
