Another busy day yesterday spent at MERL cataloguing the Geo Monro drawings. In excess of 1200 drawings now catalogued and only another two box fulls to go.
Amongst the drawings are a number with tables that list items such as nuts, bolts, washers, split pins etc. Each drawing covers one item eg rivets and gives dimensions and material, the important part is they also detail how these items are designated in the parts catalogue.
An example is plate 5 of the Rototiller 35 parts list has rivet part number R6025 rivet for wheel lock bracket. With the information contained in the table on the drawing it is possible to work out dimension of the rivet ie 6mm diam 25mm length.
Some drawings relate to Rowtrac, whilst others are for unidentified machines; some refer to Sundstrand and one range has drawing numbers starting with SK and appear to be a rotavator with 3 speed and reverse gearbox, not a Monro Tiller series 3.
