Hi everyone, thanks for your help with trying to identify this machine.

Looking closer at it in shed today I’m not sure it’s a bitsa! as it all seems to be well constructed with no odd bolts nuts etc or poorly made metal work some of which is quite complex. I may be wrong though.

I have been searching for similar machines or images and forums chat on web and so far it would appear that gearbox is maybe Strumey Archer. I also found Raleigh motorcycles with same or very similar engine dated 1920-30’s.
Interesting there was also a ransomes mower and early MG crawler with strumey archer engines very similar to this one.
Apparently Raleigh bought strumey archer and copied their engine and sold them to ransomes etc for use in various machines.
I’m going to clean the machine and engine to see if There are any serial numbers etc and post clearer pictures back here.

Thanks again for your help
