Multiculto Rotavator
purchased on eBay for the starting bid of £4.99. I bought this one because I had previously bought a Howard Demon with a BSA engine, but I have decided that the Howard should be restored to show condition and not used for the garden. I have removed the Villiers engine and with a quick clean of the points, some fresh oil and petrol, away she went. Not bad as the chap I bought it from found it buried in the hedge on his allotment. I have managed to free up the handle swivel and the rotors and I have picked up some new levers and cables from the local bike shop. When all the flaking paint has been removed and replaced with a fresh coat I will then be able to prepare the garden for next years crop. This is definitely going to be a working piece of kit.
Howard Demon
I purchased the Howard again from eBay. It has a BSA engine with a faulty magneto.
I am going to try and rewind the coil myself and see if I can get it to work -
Pictures coming soon
Howard 200 or is it a Bullfinch
Just bought this one. It runs quite well. It has a JAP engine and looks to be smaller than the Demon.
