I have one of these Howard HN rotavators. It's about 48" wide with 6 sets of tines, each set has 4 blades on it and they're pretty much shot. But where the heck can I get new tines for the thing? Any help would be appreciated.

Have you tried the usual online search?
In 50 years my dad and I haven’t been able to wear out a set of blades. They are curved to make them self cleaning and self sharpening. Much better than some new ones today.

IF you haven't wore out a set of blades, you aren't doing much tilling...
For me, a set of "curved" blades last ABOUT 350 acres, over the years I've replaced a lot of blades, as one of my Howard tillers has over 2,000 acres on it.

Of course. That's how I found this forum site. And I had gone to the site you put a link to but it has nothing but information about Howard. There's no way to order any parts.
Everyone who looks at the rotavator says the same thing, that the tines are shot. I inherited it and a small tractor and I'm a city boy not a farmer so I don't know. I sent Guy Machinery an email so I'll see what happens.

Different type of farming. Gardens, berry patches, orchards mixing in tons of leaves, coffee hulls, manure compost. It’s well worn.
