Yes you will need to remove the guards to see what you want.

The dog clutch consists of parts 372 and 374 operated by 382 which slides 374 in and out of mesh with 372.

If the flywheel is removed the magneto timing will need to be reset see below for adjusting points, timing instructions and how to remove flywheel.

Looks good.

I am not familiar with the internal workings of Allen Scythe but I do have an instruction manual with parts list in my literature collection. Looking at the illustration on page 25 it would appear the clutch mechanism on the model T is inside the gearbox, see photo below.
If you send me a personal message with your e mail address I can email the full manual to you.

There is a topic in the Help and Information section of the forum with advice about how to resize and add photos.

Later machines had a simple plate which chain runs over to adjust tension, (part number MT338B in series 3 manual) . If slack is more than 1/2″ then try taking out one link if there is no adjuster.

Have you tried bokfinder.com ?

5.5 cwt (280 Kgs) or 6 cwt (305 Kgs) if it has the Douglas engine. I am not sure if this is includes the plough or is just the bare tractor.

Seems like a lot of effort when repairing the gearbox could be easier. The gearbox is the same as a BMB Plowmate. Electrification would have its own problems, size and weight of battery to give a reasonable run time for example.

If it was not half way around the world from me I would be interested to add it to my collection. I know there is some interest in collecting old rotavators etc in Australia, we have 3 club members, all in Victoria. If you plan to sell the machine options would include online auction such as ebay or a mainstream tractor magazine that has similar adverts.

The recommended grease for chain lubrication is Castrolease Medium.The chain should have 1/2″ of movement on top run when correctly adjusted.
It is worth noting that the main gearbox should use a straight gear oil not EP90. Castrol D or equivalent SAE140 gear oil is recommended. I use Morris oils AG140 Classic Gear Oil. Castrol XL SAE 30 for the engine, Morris Oils Golden Film SAE30 Classic motor oil is what I use.
If you drop me an email with your email address I can send you a copy of the machine manual.

Is there an overload clutch that needs adjusting?
