    foxytoo replied to the topic How to identify Allen Sythe manufactured Date? in the forum Pedestrian operated machines 3 years, 11 months ago

    Thank you for your replies.

    I have had a closer look at the machine number and noticed that there is a very faint ‘1’ at the end making a correct number of 65951. I shall follow this up as recommended with MERL in Reading.

    I have tried uploading a photo without success as yet.

    I have just acquired an Allen scythe that requires a complete restoration.

    The engine cover has a machine number code of 6595 and the transmission casing has the number VC 396.

    I would be most grateful id someone can advise me as to the likely age of the machine and also the engine type that is fitted.
