old autoculto and farming machinery

Type S3 I think from the brass plate.
Has anyone any experience, help,details & or advice on this machine.
It's circa: 1957 and been in a shed for the last 10 years.
Villiers engine with NO spark as yet. I seriously want to restore this machine but I'm having trouble getting any info on it, I want to use it & at the same time keep it looking good.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks all, Titch

Hi Everyone reading.
Does anyone have any advice &/ or literature, manual for a late 1950's Monro Tiller.
I seriously want to restore this to it's former glory.
Thank You,
Titch

This forum was quite a pleasant 'discovery'
Having just aquired a 'Monro Tiller' I am looking for information & literature on it to have some fun on my plot with!
Hi To Everyone

Titch

I've finally managed to get the engine on my water pump to run!

It is a centrifugal type pump, direct coupled to a JAP 2S engine. The engine required a good clean and de-coke, as well as a magneto transplant, but now starts and runs well.

There are still some issues with the carburettor (leaking petrol and won't tick over), but I think they can be fixed with a bit of cleaning.

Now I have to get the pump end working!

was just wondering if the orange paint for the fordson major wheel rims is the same shade as the howard?

hi there was just wondering where i could source a carb for a 3hp briggs and stratton. it is on a merry tiller at the moment.

In at the deep end!

Sorry to post a want for my second posting, but does anyone have a spare JAP 4/3, or at least a spare crankshaft?

I need to get my AutoCulto going before the end of the Autumn!

Thanks

Jim.

Hi,

I've been passing this forum for a while, and though I should join.

I have a couple of old machines, an Auto Culto Mkix (with rotavator, plough, mower and tool bar), and a British Anzani "Planet Junior" motor hoe.

The MKix needs an engine rebuild, but was used earlier this year (until the camshaft broke), but the Anzani has just arrived, and needs a complete rebuild (at least it isn't seized!).

I'm a new [old] boy on the block - decided to try to resuscitate my old cultivator that's been standing idle under a tarpaulin for years.
Any advice, links for spares etc would be greatly appreciated.
