jumping the gun a bit here ,but when the engine has been sprayed i will need some decals the only ones i can find are on the canadian ebay ,does anyone know anywere in this country i could get them  ie briggs and stratton 3hp decals

Can't help on the decals Phil, but out of curiosity, where were the previous owners keeping the rotovator? Under a slow acid drip? The finish is in very rough shape.

One of this groups members runs a decal making business, his website is http://www.machinerydecals.co.uk/  I don’t know if he has the mid 1970s B & S transfers though.

Have you got the belt guide? This doubles as the front guard mounting bracket and is a really complex piece of tinware. The clutch won’t disengage properly without it.

  unless its a part of the cover then no i havent will have a look see later

[philskin]

ive found the part you mentioned its still attached to the cover its been snapped of the engine so will have to fix it ,rest of the rotavater has been rust treated rubbed down and primed ready for its topcoat

 
   doesnt look much like a rotavator now does it

 

 stone guards whatever there called plus bracket for wheel


  and the bracket pic for r tallantire ,you can see the lugs have been snapped of

 

 I also had to weld the angle iron were the wheel assembly bolts on to the chassis this had split

[philskin]

got the top coat on now ,what do you think ?

 

 

 

 think im getting there slowly

[joyfull]
