Dennis Message Board Back to Home Page Members can Submit Messages - Please Log-in James Vernon - 21st January 2026 FOR SALE 1937 Dennis dropside Advancing years and looming property sale force the disposal of my 1937 3 ton lorry. This is a project and is partially dismantled (but stil movable), it comes with a replacement engine which is in A1 order. Photos show one before the lorry was partially dismantled, one of it partially dismantled and one of the 'new' engine. All the body parts are 'saved' for either repair or use as templates. The engine cost me £1,000 in 2012. I am looking for a nominal £250 for the vehicle plus £1,000 for the engine that would be £1,250.

The last issue is the handbrake. The brakes all work fine off the footbrake but the linkage for the handbrake just doesn't seem to have enough travel to move the actuators to even slightly rub the brake pads. It could be that in the years before we acquired it a part was taken out our has gone missing. If anyone has knowledge of these brakes or any drawings/diagrams/photo's then it would be greatly appreciated.

Contact the Secretary secretary@dennissociety.org.uk Dennis Society - 14th October 2025 New Dennis Book to be published - The History of Dennis Motor Mowers Photographs wanted A Dennis Society member, the late Malcolm Hemley spent many years preparing a book on the subject of the History of Dennis Motor Mowers. The work although not quite complete contains much which could be of value and the Dennis Society plan to publish the text, as a tribute to Malcolm and for the benefit of the owners and restorers of Dennis lawn mowers. Although some of Malcolm's photographs are available, more will be needed to illustrate specific points of detail. The owners of Dennis mowers are invited to help and anyone able to do so is asked to contact the Dennis Society. Please email secretary@dennissociety.org.uk if you are able to assist. Thank you. Tim Stubbs, Secretary of the Dennis Society Dennis Society - 20th August 2025 Help and Advice Wanted - Dennis O6 Engine When the engine is cold it behaves perfectly - ie starts, runs, slows down and stops normally. After about 15 to 20 minutes, ie when warmed up, it still starts and runs, but does not slow down when the throttle is returned to idle position. It keeps running at its last speed - only slowing very slowly (like several minutes to slow down), making it completely undriveable. Also, when warm, it does not stop when the throttle is pulled up to the "stop" position - it just slows down, but keeps running very slowly. Oil in the governor weight compartment has been checked, by removing the screw plug on the side which gives access to the governor weights (Item 31 in Fig D7 of the Instruction Book - not to be connfused with the oil in the injection part which has its own dip stick. The oil in the governor weight housing is not visible with the plug removed, but when running the oil sloshes all round, showing it has plenty of oil in there. There is no dip stick for the oil level for the governor weights, and the instruction book gives no indication what level the oil should be. Should the oil level be up to the bottom of the threaded hole for the screw plug? The instruction book just says SAE 30 oil should be added through the "lubricator" - item no 5 in the same diagram, Fig D7, but gives no advice on how much oil to put in. Any help and advice would be most welcome Contact the Secretary secretary@dennissociety.org.uk Dennis Society - 16th July 2025 FOR SALE Dennis Pax NFM16 The owner has been working on the vehicle for quite some time but other matters have now interveened and he wishes to pass on the project.
