Great design, funky as my daughter would say…..

That’s the problem when all the eggs end up in one big basket…

Yes I have, and i didnt know until I got home with my second one. I just wanted the plough but the seller said that it was all or nothing, hence my second Simar.

Thank for idea
I will give it a try

[vhgmcbuddy]

Have now changed the oil after fixing the fuel pump and all seems well
But I may do a second oil change as I found that there was no felt washers at the end of the oil filter.
Neil does not have this spare
Has any one got a fix ? Could I fit a rubber one ?

Many Thanks Charlie and others. Then I know some more about my SIMAR, which makes my happy.

The E can stand for Export. Someone once said to me that it stands for England. I can’t tell if any of the suggestions is right.

I just bought an other Simar (Sn:560764, 56E), in non working condition, that one will I use for spare parts. It will be interesting to go through the machine and compare with my other to see what differs between them, eg. What have been broken or changed.

Thanks for your suggestions. I am quite sure that Simar machines have never been manufactured in Sweden only imported. However several implements (plough, ard, harrow etc.) have been produced in Sweden for the local market. I have a special made plough by the Factory Överum, a model that is showed with picture in the Swedish operating manual for Simar 55, 56 and 35 ( printed in 1958).

I found one post on the French Simar site (https://simar.discutbb.com/sujet-211135-609063-33927-1-enigme-su-doise.html) talking about the 56E. One guess was that it was a mistake when punching the numbers and letters. I don’t believe that since there are several “E” in Sweden. Perhaps the importer (Wilhelmson & Co) wanted to show a difference between the one made by SIMAR and the Geo Monro ones, but that is just speculations from my side.

Good new ..clutch is fine after adjustment..it will stall the motor out with no sign of slipping …all gears work.. the engine started 1st pull from being standing for a year (i had turned it over by hand several time sorting clutch out) BAD news 1 tyre has had it..
Sprocket size ..it has 13 teeth the little demo i do i don’t think it wants to be any faster..but it will be interesting to know what the original was

[vhgmcbuddy]

The serial number is 560763. If anyone have a register that can give me the date of production I would be very happy.

Thanks/

Well they wouldn’t supply a small qty, the MOQ was 28 tonnes!

[vhgmcbuddy]

I have found a supplier in Turkey, I am not sure if they will supply so small pieces.

That will be good ….good to know they had 7hp fitted..it means i will not have to nurse it with 6.5hp…it looks a 1/2 tidy machine..it was sold as having a gearbox problem but when i ring the man it sounded like a slipping clutch and this morning noted that it has no free play in the clutch so may only need adjusting only problems i see at this stage is a slightly misaligned engine and drive chain too long and a bodged sprocket(the sprocket is bolted/welded to a V pulley ) also excessive play in the gear stick ..i was unable to find a neutral to load it

[vhgmcbuddy]

thank you very much i’ll send them an email

[vhgmcbuddy]

That’s what I thought, I’ve been told it has been discontinued, the only problem is I don’t think there’s any ship yards left in scotland!
