 At a guess due to the absence of a belt guard, 1950's.

An email to Belle Engineering with serial numbers may get you a date?  The company was formed in 1961.

I've got the petrol version of your mixer, there would of originally been a canopy that sits over the engine/ motor and drive belt. I've tried contacting belle, but the original owner sold up years ago and the new owners ( altrad?) Didn't even reply to my emails. I've managed to obtain an original sales brochure and going from this I concluded that it is mid 1960's. My father became a belle dealer around 1975/6 and he never saw these mark 1 mixers. Hope this narrows it down a bit.

It's a pity that the Briggs engine on mine had been replaced in the late 1970's otherwise I would if been able to date it from that.

The cover just slides over the engine and gearbox, look at my YouTube channel garethkeri and you see a video there of it fitted. I'll get some measurements next time I'm at the storage unit but that maybe sometime before I can get there.

Here's a link
