Hello Benm That's good news. Thanks for the update, as I know some members are interested in this one. I said in a previous post that I believed that the origin of this machine was British - a British design that was made under licence here. On an auction site at the moment (UK) is an Allen 30 inch Rider.That machine does have a lot of similarity to yours ... ![[Linked Image]](https://www.outdoorking-forum.com.au/forum/uploads/usergals/2015/03/full-7392-20900-2015_ebay_uk.jpg)

Wow it certainly does. The handle bars are not something I would go for. I think I have traced the lack of spark back to the maggy , so hopefully over the Easter break I will change it out.

points condenser, first, let us know how you go,it's a good buy, and I'm insanily jealous,always did have a problem with sanity,suggest you take a tracing of painted on names transfer them to some stiff project paper, (get it from newsagent)check them untill their exact,that way you can get a signwritter to reproduce them, or you can make your own stencils

Hello RoymacWelcome to these forums! This is new information - that there was a second Australian manufacturer of this great British design. I feel we need photos to proceed. For information on uploading photos click HERE. Hope this helps.---------------------- Jack

![[Linked Image]](https://www.outdoorking-forum.com.au/forum/uploads/usergals/2016/02/full-8526-26973-image.jpg) Finally got back to blasting and painting the tow tractor. When spraying the primer i found what looks to be a manufacture number stamped in the centre bar , 133. Hadn't seen it before . Just a bit more mystery to its history

I don't mind at all. Flick back to the beginning of this post ,the photos are from when I bought it and it was a reddish color. I didn't expect this paint to be as vibrant as it is.

There was one of these on ebay a few months ago, it had duel rear wheels and it went for some big dollars, I pointed it out to my wife and I couldn't print her reaction

Ah yes I do remember reading this now. Thanks I ask because I am quite torn weather to paint some of my projects original or not.

That's a beautifully restored machine. You should be proud to do such a high standard on such a scarce machine. Do you plan to use it or show it?

I've done it for my 2 year old son. It will mostly come along to shows that our vintage machinery club attends. Just waiting for some parts for the engine and once it's in I might just have to give it a test mow.

I must say, I love a good TowTractor decal. It looks like it was stenciled on.
It is certainly a handsome machine. Thanks for the update. Close now!
