Triumph66

it was indeed a lucky find as it was less than an hour from home and I had been looking for a number of years.

Thanks for posting up the brochure pages, very interesting to see.
 
The front wheels are still present, I’ve not fully investigated yet as I only picked it up midweek and have been working but it looks like the they have been used as a bearing carrier/hub with the thin ag wheels bolted between the two half’s.

I agree Norm, it looks like the original tiny rims are still there...
 

Thats a good find, well done
 
Here's a brochure page for yours...
 

After a long search I’ve finally found a round hood! It’s far from perfect but should be a nice little project.

it came with the original engine (Tecumseh 6hp electric start) so first job is to get that running and fit it. It also came with the original deck so once the engine it back on I will source a new belt and see if I can get the deck working. I also need to try and source some different wheels and an original steering wheel.

We were hit had with the beast from the east a couple of years ago and it would be good to have something similar, but only after the plough is built and assuming we have plenty of fire wood in the house.
 
I have been spending too much time on US forums, where nobody knows what you mean if you call it a plough

I wouldn't worry to much about snow, Joseph. Some years back I built my own snow plough and we've not had any snow to speak of since. There's a thread on it way back.
 
BTW. It's plough NOT plow. Your English.

It has been a while since we have have posted. We have started a new project which is to build a replica of the Bolens large frame snow/dirt blade, Bolens part number 18085. The simple rule is that it is not allowed to snow until we are finished
 
This is a very rare attachment and realistically our only chance of owning one is to make a replica. Chris Stoneman recently purchased one of the few know to exisit in the UK and we picked it up for him which gave us the chance to take lots of measurements.
 
Chris's blade did not come with the lift push rods and we need some help with those. In the manual, it says that the distance between the centre line of the holes in the clevis rodes is 26-1/2" which gives a bit of an insight into the lengths of the rods. We did some searching on the Internet and that highlighted that the push rods are 20" long for the early large frames and 22-1/2" long for the HT's. We will be fitting this to our HT20 which suggests we need to make 22-1/2" rods. If someone has this attachement I would be grateful if you can measure the length of the push rods and confirm if they are 22-1/2". Also it would be helpful to know the length of the threaded part of the rod. Thanks in advance.
 
At the moment we get one tractor day a week so this project will take a while but it should be fun and I hope you follow along. I am making some notes of the work we are doing and making videos of the progress. In today's video I cover the preperation and cutting of the metal.
 
 

Had a walk down the bridleway this afternoon and came across the little buck lying dead on one side. He is unmarked and I can only assume he choked as he ran off seeing my neighbour.
 I'll bury him tomorrow before any scavengers find him.

Came home from a walk today and spotted this little fellow down the track. Helping himself from to some apples dumped there.
 

 

 

 

 
 Not seen any deer for quite some time. He's the second one I saw today. First was as I was walking round far off in a field

I might have a Villiers 25c currently on an Allen Scythe at the moment

Speaking of Allen Scythes, a friend of mine has a none runner tucked away. Keeps saying he'll bring it over. I'll have to remind him.

Flywheel now off , any figures for resistance in coil ?
just warmed the flywheel taper are and on the opposite side of the backplate to the points is a 1/2 inch hole that a wee punch can contact the flywheel , a few gentle taps and the flywheel came off 😃

I think yesterdays ride home in my trailer in the rain has upset the engine , no sark today . 
How do I get the flywheel off , no tapped holes , no nothing to get a grip of ? 

hi folks just signed up after buying an Allen Scythe . Any information would be appreciated . It has a Kohler engine fitted which looks original ,maybe the engine wasn't painted gold originally but it is now .
 any ideas what model and year it's likely to be ?  Is there a source of parts ? the tyres are perished , I thought of motorcycle trials front tyres , but maybe something more original is available .
I bought it to cut rushes in a couple of fields so it's here to work but if I can tidy it up at the same time it's no bad thing .

Initially , I couldn’t get a spark out of the Kohler K91 fitted to my Allen Scythe .
ordered a new coil from China , couldn’t find one in UK . It turned up today and didn’t fit , the square hole through the middle is only 10 mm across flats and should be 12.5 . Being fairly annoyed , I had another go at getting a spark and after stoning the points and cleaning them again I noticed a weak spark when I spun the engine over fast with my rattle gun ,  put it all back together and it started, loads of blue smoke but pulled in the drive lever and it lurched off .
i bought it ti cut the rushes that are invading our land because the strimmer was killing my back . Not so sure the Allan scythe won’t be worse , it’s a beast 👍 
, 

Is there anyone in the UK who re magnetise flywheels ? 

There is a Kohler K91 fitted to my Allen scythe , I'm on with fitting new coil and condenser since it lost it's spark on Sunday . I'm told my Allen scythe should have a Villiers fitted .
 I'd be happy to swap for a Villiers . 

Ewan doesn't get on here much like me - we are in so many groups and forums is impossible to keep up!  He's currently in the process of building a 1984 range rover - almost from scratch as the titanic probably has less rust!!!!

Thanks all! 

Happy Birthday Ewan; hope all's well with you.

Well, there was life pre Internet . My business career started with paper manuals, then microfiche, CDs, DVDs, downloads and now it’s “all “ in the cloud ; but only if someone has put it there.  It’s a good job that some of us have hung on to the paper manuals - but not for much longer!

Got a bit bored this week, I had an old disability scooter kicking about and found this old jeep on the dump, so I’ve cut 9 inches out of the chassis cut the jeep up abit, and I’ve got a start to an 8 mph tot rod
 
 

Another fantastic build Alan, it would look nice with a small trailer behind it with half-a-horse on it. 

Not quite a Tot Rod but a Black Hood Wheel Horse look a like, sort of.  Based on a Pride Celebrity scooter bought cheap as a non runner.  Info said 6.25 MPH.  Larger rear wheels make it faster.  Steering wheel in place of the tiller with a dummy V twin engine to hide the scooter steering column.  Chain and sprockets from column to wheel.  2 x 12 volt 75 amp battery's so should give a good run. Still needs decals. Only had short test run so far.  Photo's of Grand daughter  having a play.  She loved it.

Try Neil he did have some Andrew
