Martin, the photo you posted is not the David Brown I refer to.

Martin, have you seen this web page, it would be well worth contacting Bob he may have a copy of the literature you want. Please keep us informed of results.
Are you aware of the David Brown canal tractors, based on their model 2D, I know at least one survives.

A brilliant weekend, thanks to all involved in oragnising and everyone that attended. Some were lucky to witness me starting up and running the SIMAR 10E for the first time, it still needs a bit of work to improve starting and running. Photos to follow.

All loaded up. 5, 30, 50, 122 (or which ever model it is) and a couple of other items.

NOTE postcode in magazine is wrong it should end with 9AL not 9EL, only just spotted when entering it into sat nav.

Have a look at MERL website and search their archive database, they hold a lot of information about Allen of Oxford.

I will be as they help give a full range of SIMAR models. I will also be bringing another rare machine which I picked up yesterday, not SIMAR and was advertised in August issue of The Cultivator.

Various machines dragged out of their hiding places in the shed, now to get them going again, a couple of them have not run for years.

Ignition parts, coil, points condenser may be obtainable from one of the suppliers eg Meetens, Villiers Parts etc

What engine does it have?

Here is a link to the instructions on how to do it.

As far as I know all model 56 had reverse and I have not heard the theory that is what the A indicated. Serial number 560101 was delivered on 24-1-1949 to P Harsham, Coddington, Ledbury, Herefordshire.
The 56 is 8hp, 2 speeds which are selected via pins in road wheel hub, the long pin is inserted on left for low and right for high gear.
I have operators manual and spares list which I can e mail if you send me a pm with your e mail address. I have never seen a workshop manual for these machines. Original engineering drawings are at MERL, Reading, drawing number is usually same as part number.
Petrol/oil mix is 6% and gearbox oil should be straight 140, I use Morris Oils AG140.
