Marc, no I have the later model A5

[charlie]

Marc, welcome to our forum. I am sure fellow SIMAR collectors will be interested in your pages. I have a collection myself including model 5, 30, 35 and 56 plus what I think is a 10 (see photo). The 56 I have is the 28th one made by Geo Monro, Nov 1948 and I still use it once or twice a year. I also have the soil shredder attachment for the 56.

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.

Its a Villiers Mk 12 HS (High Speed).

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.

Merry Christmas to everyone. Lets hope 2024 is drier than 2023.

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.
