Looking very smart, an eye catching machine that I am sure will attract plenty of attention where ever it goes. A job well done.

As far as I know there was no gasket, I have never found one on any that I have split. A very light smear of Blue Hylomar might be a good idea.

Thank you Peter.
The hard part next will be putting it all back together. Thankfully I took plenty of photos before the strip down which should help.

Well done Geoff, as was promised the website is growing. I must get my finger out and get some of the Monro Tiller records information scanned.

The excellent SIMAR website has some information on the M11, see link.
According to the website this model was produced from 5th April 1930 to 28th April 1936 with serial numbers 3001 to 3098. If only 98 were produced then they were never a common machine.

Darren a great job, always good to see something different.

Always interesting to see the original patent and drawings.

Eventually got around to measuring the cable on my 56A.
Overall length of outer cable 2.11m (83″) 6.12mm od, overall length of inner cable is 2.193m (86 3/8″) 1.5mm diam.
Throttle lever end has a nipple 6.12mm dia 3.28mm thick and carb end has a nipple 5mm long 3.26mm dia (these are as close as I could measure). The adjuster on carb end is 32mm overall with 18mm threaded section. Cable with adjuster for carb end can be threaded through handlebars from throttle lever end, easier if a length of wire is threaded through first.
Hope this helps.

There are two versions of the Barford trailer the flat bed with sides or a dump trailer, from memory both use a similar chassis although the flat bed has different wheels with brakes.

Do you have the patent number? Have you looked it up on the patents website? This will give a date for the patent which might be earlier than the spraymobile.

One of the great things about these old magazines and newspapers is the adverts. There are some lovely sounding things in The Fruit Grower for pest control, eg arsenate of lead, cyanide and nicotine.

Our club chairman should be able to give information about this machine from the records and register he has.

Pete, welcome to the forum. I am sure one of our regular contributors will be able to answer your questions. As a start I would suggest not altering anything on the carb yet as the engine starts and runs OK. Cleaning out the cooling fins around the head and cylinder would be a good idea too.

If you take the old shoes to a brake relining company they should be able to reline them for you.
