It is a truly frightening machine.... Will have to make sure I wear steel caps and not thongs ; ) .
I will put together some thoughts and tips soon.

There is some poetic licence on some of the paint but based it mainly on this brochure.

It would have been impressive to walk into a dealership in the 50s and see all the machines looking like this. Its almost art.

I didnt fully understand how the ratchet mechanism on the outside of the hubs worked but now it is togethere I do and can hear them ratcheting when turning on one side and locking on the other.

I just love the quality and the fact that these machines are designed to last and be rebuilt which is sadly lacking in machinery today. We live in a throw away world.

I am also looking for a Mark 15 or 25 4 stroke villiers that were also fitted to these machines if anyone has any leads on a good one. It would need to have the correct rotating bolts set in to the crankcase to bolt onto the maching similar to the two stroke ones

Compression on the AKB is terrific and as I've said before, the carb is drawing up fuel well too. I reckon when we have this maggy sorted, it'll all be downhill form there.

I'm definitely a little concerned about getting into the head to check valves etc as the interior of the hopper is so corroded and with that mess is the bolts to disconnect it

Well, everything else has come undone so far with only gentle persuasion so I remain hopeful that continuous treatment with diesel will suffice until I'm ready


Your school project sounds trerrific .. not enough of it today I don't think. It would certainly keep lads interested rather than sitting still and being quiet lol

Brilliant!

I feel you are a natural story teller and write with such sympathy and excitement.
Members clearly like your posts and topics and hope for the next installment.

Great images to boot!

The Allen has a special place in our history; mainly because it was the
number 1 sickle mower sold here and in the UK (best guess).

The Allen has a special place in that Scott Bonnar imported them and
promoted them extensively.

These were the scrub clearers of the day, before the rotary revolution
would take hold. I guess they were a sort of half-way-house between
the reel and rotary revolutions (pun intended).

That you have a late model Allen is significant.
These sickle designs were in decline, as rotary slashers were
on the incline.

You have a changing-of-the-guard machine.

Many thanks.
