Events so far for 2014 locally include a gathering at Isfield some time in March, Stone Cross rally in June, Smallholders show in July and Tractorfest at Biddenden in August, no doubt other additional events will pop up in due course…

Thanks, Angus that’s useful.
Sorry about the photo or lack of it. I shall have to figure out how to reduce the size for future queries.
More awkward these machines than the mechanical varieties I’m more used to.
More difficult when you’re old and grey.
Best Wishes,
Keith

I see no pictures!!
However there certainly was an Atco Toughcut which was around with various engines up until the early 70s I think. The chassis had many parts in common with the Atco SF34 and SF35 Mini gang mowers. Your version with the Villiers Lightweight was designated The Atco 20″ H.D. Sidewheel Motor Mower. Other variations were, the SF33 with a BSA/Villiers Sloper engine, SF13 with a Villiers Mk7 and the 24″ SH6 with a Villiers mk10. There may well have been others!!

What’s it called?
I have just aquired “the heap” (pictures attached) and wonder if anyone can throw any light as to what it might have been marketed as. I have been told that it may have been known as an “ATCO Toughcut”
It has what looks like a Villiers 125cc Engine (H512 lightweight model).
Can anyone enlighten me further.

I’ve been having a play with the Gutbrod again today.
I’ve put a new charging light on it which now works. (It comes on with the ignition and goes out when running, but i only have battery voltage at the battery terminals when the engine is running)
I removed the D wire from the dynamo and earthed the DF terminal and i’m getting around 18 volts out of the dynamo, which is all good.
I then found a fuseable link in the regulator had blown which I’ve now rectified. but still no change in voltage when running (only around 11.5 volts)
Is there anything i can do with the voltage regulator to bring it back to life?
I’m pretty confident that its the regulator that’s at fault, or is it time to source a replacement?
cheers
Gary
