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.

Now that’s interesting!
I’m no expert on SIMAR numbers, the ID plate on yours says “imported” implying it was manufactured elsewhere rather than being made in Sweden. Its definitely the same as the 56a made and sold in UK by Monros which I have. Except that earlier models had “Simar Rototiller” on the spark plug cover, and later ones “Simar British Rototiller”; yours just says “Simar”.
If Charlie can’t come up with the goods, might be worth a post on the French Simar site, they’re very helpful.

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

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!

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

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!

The previous owner had made up what he thought looked like a bulldozer blade, it was in a fixed position riding the ground on skids weighed a ton and looked awful. I guess it may have had a use as a snow plough as it came from the Alps. The hydraulic pump is a French unit but looks as if it was fitted in Ipswich. I have just replaced the fan belt and fitted a new ammeter as the French jaeger unit was full of mud and u.s.. I have now fully removed the blade and mounts and now need a new bumper as they had chopped the ends off to clear the blade bracing arms. Runs and starts well left hand brake chamber was full to the brim with water and oil despite the jiggle pins in the drain holes. Sprayed it with degreaser prior to a good pressure wash and respray with light oil. I may re paint the bonnet at some point as it is very sun bleached. Those rear cranes are interesting I keep looking at it with a view to adapting it for a pallet lift.
