Introduction
Allis Chalmers 405 Riding Lawn Mower
The Allis Chalmers 405 is a compact riding lawn mower produced between 1975 and 1979 in Port Washington, Wisconsin, USA. It belongs to the Scamp 5 series and was designed specifically for residential lawn maintenance and light groundskeeping tasks.
Engine and Powertrain
The machine is powered by a Briggs & Stratton 130202 gasoline engine, a single-cylinder, air-cooled unit with a horizontal shaft. It delivers 5 hp (3.7 kW) from a displacement of 204 cc (12.5 ci). The engine features a manual recoil starter, with an optional electric start system available. The power is managed by a belt-driven gear transmission providing two forward gears and one reverse gear.
Mechanical Configuration
The tractor utilizes a two-wheel-drive system and manual steering. It is designed with an open operator station for accessibility. With a total shipping weight of 268 lbs (121 kg), the machine maintains a compact footprint, measuring 58 inches (147 cm) in length and 28.25 inches (71 cm) in width, which enhances its maneuverability in confined garden areas.
Tires and Mowing Equipment
This model is equipped with a 26-inch mower deck intended for standard grass cutting. It rolls on lawn and turf tires to minimize ground pressure, with front tires sized 4.10/3.50x4 and rear tires sized 16.00/6.50x8, ensuring stability and traction on established lawns.
Conclusion
The Allis Chalmers 405 serves as a lightweight, entry-level solution for homeowners requiring a dedicated machine for grass mowing. Its simple mechanical design and modest power output make it suitable for smaller properties where ease of operation and compact storage are primary considerations.
