ranger 373 #1 Posted August 5, 2014 It's an Albion gearbox: 3 forward-1 reverse, belt input-chain output,clutch operated by hand lever,gear change by lever.I fell over this in the garage looking for some parts for Ian.[=5048:P1020107.JPG] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
meadowfield 1,900 #2 Posted August 5, 2014 we took one like that off an old howard rotavator I think... or was the input chain drive on those? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anglo Traction 1,016 #3 Posted August 5, 2014 I see it's made by Albion, so it could be from a number of different machines. Gearbox/Clutch Unit is similar to the Motor Hoe unit by Colwood, Sure an expert will spot this and give you the proper answer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vinnetrow 129 #4 Posted August 5, 2014 The other interesting thing is the starter handle is not there. The shaft for that has been removed and blanked for this application. Suggests there was another way of starting the machine it came off? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
steve d 43 #5 Posted August 5, 2014 definitely not colwood and if the colour is original it looks a bit like auto culto possible auto gardener or midgi culto ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ian 2,417 #6 Posted August 6, 2014 The Martin 3 wheeled little trucks used an Albion 3 speed box, the clutch pack was multi plate and was much thicker than pictured above. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ranger 373 #7 Posted August 6, 2014 I was going to use it for a Bonser style truck for the stables, but then I gave the axle away. After seeing the Villiers powered motorcycle: It looks to old to call it a motorbike, I wonder ???????? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
