I joined several clubs and tried to get help with registering mine. It turned out that none of the experts could help me. From my research of wheel horses I’m probably better qualified than most… I wrote a nice letter to Toro and they confirmed the age on headed paper which the DVLA confirmed along with photographs and insurance was enough.

I’ve registered two in the last last two years (one 1979 T, the other 1972 K) – the last one being a year ago. I’ve just filled in the request for form V55/5 again and I’m going to register another horse. Lets see how that goes.

would any one know the age of this allen scythe ? my rough guess 50s/ 60s ??.

[vhgmcbuddy]

Could this be the best Allen Scythe we’ve ever seen?
Well not to sure about that alan but time might tell.

[vhgmcbuddy]

sounds like your local dvla are real jobs worths. My letter aged the vehicle and confirmed it was manufactured in the US and imported in 1972. When I filled in the V55 form I only filled in the the serial numbers and cc. They ignored the rest – I’ve done this twice btw, maybe the leeds dvla office is the place to go…
