Good morning all,
I’ve found a rather dilapidated Mk1 with a reasonable B&S Max 4hp engine. What I would appreciate is the details of the drive belt for the rear wheels and advice on chain tension too. Any pdfs of owners’ manuals would be great!
In hope,

Hello there,
Hoping that you now have a working mower I am posting this to ask if you can give me details of the drive belt on your machine? Mine has an Optibelt but the figures on the belt are worn away and the belt is so damaged it’s impossible to say what width/length it was!
Hope you can help,

Hello there. You’ve probably passed this on but I’m looking for just this type of mower.

Hi there,
Impressed you got the flywheel off! I was told the dynastart was similar to that used on a grey Fergie but I cannot confirm that. My machine has a coil so can’t help about the mystery black wire but I suspect Charlie is correct if it is a flywheel magneto type of spark generator as it needs an earth kill switch to stop it.

Hello all,
I have found a ram to fit the rear forks https://www.flowfitonline.com/hydraulic … 5mm-200015 This only required minor grinding to fit and was not (very) expensive.
The ram is double acting so a spool valve would make it even more snazzy.
On the other matter, I gather that some members have made or found a rear PTO adapter. If anyone…[Read more] -

merry-tiller replied to the topic Oxford Allen no power in the forum Pedestrian operated machines 6 years, 4 months ago
Gradual flywheel slippage affects (retards) the timing and although it may have been perfectly assembled to start with it can end up too retarded to do any real work. I used degreaser, flour paper on the shaft to dull the finish then some Loctite. It lasts about a year before I have to redo it! Why Allen didn’t key the shaft at the correct timing…[Read more]

Thanks 4×4, looks as though the cowling cannot be removed until the whole front end (pulleys) is also removed; is that correct?
The outer double pulley comes off easily but we cannot budge the electromagnetic hub at all.
There is a spark so I’m tempted to ignore it for now, let me know if you have any advice.
Kind regards,

Hello Charlie, thank you for that suggestion.Yes I have, in fact the workshop manual they sell came with the tractor and it doesn’t have that vital info in it which seemed a bit odd!

Hello all,
Any idea how to get at the points on a Gutbrod 1032? The electromagnetic pulley does not want to be removed and the cowling around the impeller fan has no visible means of attachment. If you are able to offer advice or assistance, please respond to this post or call me on 07887780629
Many thanks,

Hello there!
I have a Gutbrod 1032 and would welcome any help or advice as to how to use. If you have an instruction manual that explains how to operate the beast I would be very grateful for a copy. If you just know what the various levers etc do, please get in touch. Specifically, how do I engage/disengage the epicyclic rear hubs, how do I start…[Read more] -

I have recently bought a non running Gutbrod 1032 from a fellow member (thanks Adam!) and am restoring it to a usable condition. I have copies of copies of the works handbook but not the owner’s manual.

2. What the three positions are for…[Read more] -

Another day another damn machine! The merry tiller with
updated engine (4hp) powered through the hoeing
beautifully but was a bit reluctant to start.
I really should download the instructions for it.
An accidental meander across a section of lawn
led to a useful discovery. The solid toned cultivator rotors

Hello all, just mowed the aftermath in our mini-meadow with the Allen Scythe and there was as much fuel getting past the fuel filler gasket as going into the engine. Any suggestions as to ways to minimise this loss/restore the old gasket?
