Cutting some grass and weeds with my Allen Oxford Auto Scythe. It jammed up a bit from time to time with the weeds but other than that performed really well.
That is a really nice allen scythe and runs and cuts really well. In grass like that mine would go ten meters and jam up. I want to put my blade off set and see what it is like to run like that. But first i need to make some more ledger plates.
It does run surprisingly well and usually starts first pull which is hard to believe. I have tuned in the fingers and try to keep the cutter bar sharp which helps but can be hard when cutting thru long grass with hidden sticks and stones. I would like to get a set of Allen grass guards that go over the axle to stop it picking up so much grass and wrapping around itself. I have thought myself on making up and offset cutter bar but have not yet got around to it. I have a picture of an Allen with an offset cutter bar. Thank you for the comment.

Sounds like the ignition system needs a little tlc!
Why is that? Is it the timing? I only set timing by eye but other than that runs well and starts well.
These were the vanguards of operation Barbarossa. 100,000 of these were the first ones in after the initial artillery bombardment.
Were they used as transport?
the mower works well
It certainly does.
