Howard Rotavator information needed

[linrick1]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi all, a few years ago I was fortunate enough to be given a Howard Rotavator by my wifes father. It had been used in their greenhouses to till for tomatoes for many years and when they switched over to growing potted material the rotavator was parked under an overhang and sat untouched until I was able to get my hands on it. Its in great condition, and it runs but I want to go right through it and give everything the once over. Im having trouble finding any information/specifications for the old girl and am hoping someone here might be able to help me out, thanks, Rick

That beast looks like it could till up concrete.

And here are more user manuals and parts lists than you can shake a stick at: Manuals

WOW!! that is gorgeous!! I didn't know Howard made a walk behind tiller. All I have ever seen are three point machines I have an old one retired it is out back hasn't been used for years. We used it behind a 100 HP John Deere for breaking prairie and it did a fabulous job, It would make that 4020 snort going through buffalo wallows etc, but generally one pass It did a great job. They are built like tanks!!

That would make an outstanding project!! cleaned up and repainted what a show piece!! and VERY functional!

Cheers
