here's a few clues ...
1. it's a 2 stroke (ok, not exactly a thumper)
2. it's an off roader
3. has 2 wheels (obviously)
4. has rudimentary clutch & gears

I think you may be right about the Allen Scythe. Wonderful machines - I spent a year working for Birmingham Council repairing horticultural machines and my favourites were the Allen and the Howard Gem rotovator. The Allen was quite terrifying if the clutch wouldn't release and it took off across the workshop with everyone jumping out of the way to avoid having their feet amputated at the ankles.

Sounds like fun - I look forward to progress reports and piccies. There's an interesting write up in one of the classic mags about a guy who put a 1200cc JAP side valve V twin (from a railway inspection trolley!) into a pre war Norton frame. Lovely looking thing.

Does that mean you’re working on the restoration of said Allen scythe, or the prize for John? 🤣👍
