We describe under various conditions abelian subgroups of the automorphism group $\mathrm{Aut}(T_{n})$ of the regular $n$-ary tree $T_{n}$, which are normalized by the $n$-ary adding machine $\tau =(e, \dots, e,\tau )\sigma _{\tau }$ where $\sigma _{\tau }$ is the $n$-cycle $\left( 0,1, \dots, n-1\right) $. As an application, for $n=p$ a prime number, and for $n=4$, we prove that every soluble subgroup of $\mathrm{Aut}(T_{n})$, containing $\tau $ is an extension of a torsion-free metabelian group by a finite group.
