Hey folks I have been offered a Howard rotovator for £60 but the guy says the engine is rough, i'm going to take it as meaning its knackered. Its a fairly fresh looking machine and they look fairly near the top of the rotovator market. Does anyone know anything about these machines? Would it be difficult to fit a different engine like a Honda, Briggs etc.

Which model?

 

On some of the smaller ones, such as the Bantam, you engage the 'clutch' by shifting the whole engine over on a lever to tension the drivebelt. These ones are interchangeable with pretty much any engine. On others, it depends how well the output pulley lines up.
