Welcome to this site. Thanks for posting your pictures of your Standard Twin. You have a great looking tractor.
Does your plow have any ID numbers and letters on it?
Thanks,
Candy

Just to show the tractor that started this thread really does exist, here is a picture of one that showed up at Portland swap. Even had my name on it!
It always amazes me that this stuff is still hiding in a shed or barn somewhere for someone to find and rescue.
Thanks for posting the picture Doug.

I forgot to add that this is a 1935 model. The serial number is 35f189. This twin still has the tag between the handles.Hi Doug, thanks for letting me know about this forum. So much info on these walk behinds here.
I guess I should post some pictures of my Viking Twin.
Viking Garden Tractor. Made by Allied Motor. Says some other things that I would need a magnifiing glass to read.
So, is the F in the serial number the model letter?
I want to thank all of you that have contributed to this thread. I have learned quite a bit here. I will read it again and again to be able to take it all in.

In the case of the Viking, yes that is the model designation. When they went to the date coded serial numbers all models had a letter designation but all the letters aren't used as an actual model.

I was wondering if someone would take some measurements off the starting crank for their twin and post them here.
Mostly what the throw is in the crank. 9/16 round stock seems to fit the hole in the flywheel good. Not snug at all but not sloppy either. Also, how long is the cross pin in the crank for engaging the flywheel.
Thanks
Steve

There was a crank for sale on "epay" that looks like a repro to me, unless making you own is entertainment. Item 290827374602. He was asking $20.00 but it didn't sell. You could look it up and contact the seller to see if it is still for sale.
My guess is that you are having fun with it though.

I will be making my own. Piece of cake to make. Always nice to have something to look at when you want to copy something.
A drawing is good but with the crank on the graph paper its even better.
Will post a pic when I get it done.
Thanks
Steve
