Belle Mixer Age
I recently acquired a belle mixer, the engine for which was in the drum with a broken engine mount. I've since welded it up and got it going again and am interested to know how old it is.

It looks old. Briggs and Stratton 3HP engine, steel engine cover (new ones are plastic), on the inside of which it says belle mini mix mark III 4/3 cu.ft... Metric came in in 1965 but it's definitely not that old Laughing

Does anyone know whether there's a year stamp anywhere? Can't see anything and google has returned nothing.

There should be a plate on the frame just below the engine on the right hand side.
Probably long gone though.
