    To upload photo first ensure file size is less than 4MB, if it is more you will need to compress the file.
    After checking file size is within limits, click on ‘choose file’ add select the photo file, then submit.

    If you receive an email that you are not expecting it is good practice to hover the cursor over the senders email address it will then show the true address. If different then you know the email account it is trying to look like it has come from has been spoofed.
    Never open an attachment in any such emails.

    Svein, it may well be worth starting a new topic for your machine. I know there is at least one club member with a Crawley.

    Welcome. Not quite the right forum, best place is https://vhgmc.co.uk/forums/forum/the-machinery-forums/ride-on-machines/
    To drive on public roads you will need to register the steed, should be tax and MoT exempt as it is over 40 years old so Historic Vehicle tax class, you will also need full RTA insurance. Any good insurer should be able to insure it, check out adverts in magazines such as Tractor and Machinery etc. Club forum member trusty220 is our Trusty expert.
    Obtaining a V5 should be possible, you will need proof of date of manufacture for age related plate and historic tax class.

    The Cultivator is already available in digital format which can be downloaded on the website, available to any paid up club member that has registered an account on the website.
    Having alternative membership rates for those receiving paper copy and those choosing digital only would add further complications to membership sign up and database management. The same debate took place when insurance was added to club membership.

    Your Monro Tiller is a series 3 machine, s/n 832442 was despatched August 1958 and delivered on 11th Feb 1959 to W F Tarrant, Avalon, Wolverley, nr Kidderminster, see attached extract from factory records.
    As you say tyres for the Monrotiller are obsolete. The same size was also fitted to the small Barford Atom and some Merry Tillers. Merry Tiller wheels and tyres do come up for sale but usually fetch a good price, typically £40-£50. You may be able to find a modern equivalent but beware there is not much room for anything wider or larger in overall diameter due to the reverse gear housing on lh side of gearbox.
    I will send you a private message regarding manual and parts list.

    You can find a copy of the engine manual here I had a quick look and it does not say how to remove flywheel, but the exploded diagram in the parts list may help. The nut holding flywheel on could be a left hand thread.

    Another possible source is online supplier Simply Bearings they also sell drive belts. I have used them for bearings and seals and found them to provide a good service.

    For hoeing between rows you would need to use a push hoe like the Jalo or similar.

    Sally, you appear to have a Douglas Gapper, for other examples please see https://vhgmc.co.uk/photo-galleries/douglas-auto-gapper/
    They were used to take out unwanted plants (thinning) in a row eg sugarbeet, to create gaps and correct spacing.
