You might be lucky and find an AB member who is an expert about such things.
Alternatively, you could invest a tenner in membership of the Vintage Horticultural & Garden Machinery Club and definitely find others who can help you. (Their home page even includes a photograph of a MonroTiller, owned by a member, so you'd certainly be in the right place):

Alternatively, there's a guy called Andy (who describes himself as a 'MonroTiller enthusiast') who has renovated several machines and who is offering advice to fellow enthusiasts. His phone number and e-mail address are here:

There is an Old Lawnmower Club, assuming it is a lawn mower (even if it isn't I am sure they can help)

There�s a bloke on this website who does up that type of thing and might be able to help you if you post a query, can�t remember his user name at the moment but might be worth joining and he�ll give you a link to his own website, I signed up on there because I was trying to get rid of an old rotavator that my Dad has and seemed a shame to dump it down the tip and he wanted it!
If I can dig out my log in details I�ll look up my Q on there and give you a link to his site.

You are in luck. I have manuals for all three models, series I, II, and III. I also have company records and can date machines from the serial number. As already suggested joining the VHGMC is a good idea, but I would say that as I edit their newsletter. See vhgmc.co.uk, note membership rates have increased. See my website at http://vintage-gardenmachines.freeservers.com/ . Let me know if I can help further.
