PRELIMINARY NOTE

     The persons filing this Amendment No. 6 are Tweedy, Browne Company LLC
("TBC"), a Delaware limited liability company, and (ii) TBK Partners, L.P.
("TBK"), a Delaware limited partnership. This Amendment No. 6 amends a Statement
on Schedule 13D filed by TBC and TBK dated May 20, 1997 (the "Statement").
However, the filing of this Amendment No. 6 should not be deemed an admission
that TBC, and TBK comprise a group within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the
Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Act").

     This Amendment No. 6 relates to the Common Stock, no par value (the "Common
Stock") of The Monarch Machine & Tool Company & Subsidiaries (the "Company"),
which, to the best knowledge of the persons filing this Amendment No. 6, is a
company organized under the laws of Ohio, with its principal executive offices
at 615 North Oak Street, Sidney, Ohio 45362.

     This Amendment No. 6 contains information regarding shares of Common Stock
that may be deemed to be beneficially owned by TBC. Such shares are held in the
accounts of various customers of TBC, with respect to which it has obtained or
shared voting power.

     This Amendment No. 6 is being filed because the filing persons are no
longer subject to the filing requirements of Section 13(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as a result of the disposition of their respective shares
of Common Stock in open market transactions.

     Other than as set forth below, to the best knowledge of TBC and TBK, there
has been no material change in the information set in response to Items
1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 7 of the Statement, as amended. Accordingly, those Items are
omitted from this Amendment No. 6.


ITEM 5.  INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

     (a) As of the date hereof, TBC may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of
an aggregate of 4,770 shares of Common Stock, which constitutes approximately
0.13% of the 3,800,000 shares of Common Stock which TBC believes to be the total
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. The TBC Shares are held in the TBC
Accounts.

     As a result of the disposition of 15,000 shares of Common Stock in open
market transactions, TBK does not beneficially own directly any shares of Common
Stock.

     Each of TBC and TBK disclaims that it is the beneficial owner of any of the
shares of Common Stock held in the TBC Accounts. The aggregate number of shares
of Common Stock with respect to which TBC and TBK could be deemed to be the
beneficial owner as of the date hereof, is 4,770 shares, which constitutes
approximately 0.13% of the 3,800,000 shares of Common Stock, which the filing
persons believe to be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding,
but nothing contained herein shall be construed as an admission that TBC is the
beneficial owner of any of the TBC Shares.


     The aggregate number of shares and percentage of Common Stock with respect
to which each of the General Partners and Members may be deemed to be the
beneficial owner by reason of his being a general partner of TBK or a member of
TBC, is 4,770 shares, which constitutes approximately 0.13% of the 3,800,000
shares of Common Stock outstanding. The aggregate number of shares and
percentage of Common Stock with respect to which Thomas P. Knapp may be deemed
to be a beneficial owner by reason of his being a general partner of TBK is 0
shares of Common Stock which constitutes approximately 0% of the 3,800,000
shares of Common Stock outstanding. However, nothing contained herein shall be
construed as an admission that any of the General Partners or Thomas P. Knapp is
the beneficial owner of any shares of Common Stock, except as set forth herein
as expressly and admittedly being beneficially owned by a particular General
Partner or Thomas P. Knapp.



<PAGE>   6


     Each of TBC and TBK disclaims beneficial ownership of Common Stock held by
the other. Except as described herein, to the best knowledge of TBC and TBK, no
person who may be deemed to comprise a group with any of TBC and TBK, or any
other person named in Item 2 hereof, beneficially owns any shares of Common
Stock.

     (b) TBC has investment discretion with respect to 4,770 shares of Common
Stock held by the TBC Accounts and has sole power to dispose or direct the
disposition of all of such shares. Of these shares of Common Stock, TBC has sole
power to vote or to direct the voting of 4,770 shares of Common Stock held in
certain TBC Accounts.

     Each of the Members of TBC, solely by reason of their positions as such,
may be deemed to have (i) shared power to dispose of or to direct the
disposition of all of the shares of Common Stock held in the TBC Accounts; and
(ii) shared power to vote or direct the vote of 4,770 shares of Common Stock
held in certain TBC Accounts.

     TBK has the sole power to vote or direct the voting of and dispose or
direct the disposition of the TBK Shares. Each of the General Partners and
Thomas P. Knapp, solely by reason of their positions as general partners, may be
deemed to have shared power to vote or direct the vote of and to dispose or
direct the disposition of the TBK Shares.

     (c) During the sixty-day period ended as of the date hereof, transactions
in Common Stock effected by TBC and TBK are set forth below:

     (d) To the best knowledge of TBC, each of the persons maintaining an
account with TBC has the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of
dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the shares of Common Stock
held in said person's TBC Account.

     To the best knowledge of TBK, no person other than TBK has the right to
receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds
from the sale of, the TBK Shares, except that the General Partners and Thomas P.
Knapp may be deemed to have such rights and powers solely by reason of being
general partners in TBK.

     (e) TBC and TBK ceased to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of Common
Stock on February 5, 1999.
