No we do not have a calendar for 2025.

My copy arrived in the post this morning.

pm sent regarding manual. The file is too large to post on the forum. Charlie

A photo or two of the tap might help us diagnose the problem.

Could you post a photo of what you currently have so we can identify what is missing.

For information about registration I suggest you look at the DVLA website. Will it be a first time registration or reclaiming an old registration? If a new registration, do you want (need) an age related number?

Whatever it is, it appears to have had a repair to the crankcase by the look of it. Photos of the other 3 sides would help.

Grahame, I don’t know if the tines are the same size. I am fairly sure Clifford either copied or produced the rotavator under licence from SIMAR as SIMAR held the patent. Geo Monro produced the Rototiller 56 under licence from 1948.

Copy of page from Rototiller 56 parts manual.

I believe the Clifford rotavator drive from rear of main gearbox back is the same as on a SIMAR. If it is any help I can post a copy of th erelevant page of the parts book which shows the various parts.

Many of these small machines only had an owners/operators manual and a parts list. The only machine I can think of that had a workshop manual is the Howard Gem. There was a workshop manual for the Villiers Mk10, 12 and 15 engines.

Don’t forget copy deadline for December issue is 15th November.

Float probably burst due to rapid expansion of the air inside due to heat of boling water.
