Hey lawnmower gurus,
Father returned home from an auction last month with an Allen Scythe – a T S model I think. There is no history, no paperwork nothing! The tyres have seen better days and I have had to cable tie the drive clutch lever up so I can attempt to manoeuvre it around before I get stuck on the flat spotted tyres! I have (after gallons of WD-40) managed to remove the spark plug. I have removed the hay barn out of the cylinder head,left 2 stroke mixture (heavy on oil as had no diesel) to soak the piston bore and finally got the engine to turn! Took a couple of days but the thing will happily turn by hand now.
My question is: where can I get parts from? I have found a manual (shame it’s not like a Hayes workshop manual for cars) and a parts list…….only trouble is they’re ummmmm, a bit old!
I definitely require a spark plug – what is the modern equivalent to a Lodge model cv? I think that’s what it says – it’s very damaged. I also need an h.t. lead as I don’t think a bit of electric fencing wire was the original part!
The machine number is: R25879 . Any information for this would be brilliant – I think I have a TS model but I’m only going on images.
Info, spark plug and h.t. lead please my lovelies
Many thanks
Verity
