Guy, welcome to the forum. You say you have joined the VHGMC, do you mean you have joined the club or just the website/forum. I ask as I am membership secretary and have not seen an application from you and just want to check it has not got lost in the system.
Regarding your enquiry, it might be better to copy it to a new topic so it will be easier to find in the future. I have information for the JAP 80 engine which I can e mail to you if you send me a personal message with your e mail address. (to send a pm click on my user id then on send private message).

There is already a website for All vintage garden machinery This one. Creating another site just means people need to look in numerous places rather than one.

The size of tyre for the Monro Tiller has been obsolete for years. If you have a series 1 or 2 machine you can get away with a modern tyre that is slightly taller. On a series 3 machine the taller tyre fouls the reverse gear housing.
The small Barford Atom and Merry Tiller used the same size tyre and second hand ones do come up on e bay, but they seem to fetch a good price.
