howard 350 with plough

just finished renovating rotovator and plough.the plough was just a bit rusty but rotovator needed new engine and respray,was an interesting project over winter acer

Nice job done

My Howard 350 came with a B & S 6 hp engine with a very ventilated crankcase so I've re-engined it with a Villiers 6.5 hp,made in India,and it goes very well and was a straight swop.

The question I have is.......does anyone out there have a 350 with a centrifugal clutch as I have?and If they have,how user serviceable is it and was it a standard fitment?

Thank you.

John Price,waiting for Sping!

@ smud6ie,..when i got machine it had a honda 300 engine which was knackered hence need to change,think they should have a kohler t 141 or briggs and stratton engine from new but not 100% sure.i cocked up a bit with new engine and got one with 25mm shaft when it should have been 1"so had to put shims round shaft as clutch housing would be to loose.. i made a new plate to hold clutch arm and housing as holes in original plate where in the wrong place to fit new engine otherwise it was a straight swop...

@ john price...i have been looking for centrifugal clutch for a 350,i have seen a 350 machine on ebay that had  one ,i was going to get in touch with the seller but by that time it had been sold so lost name,but they must exist somewhere if you hear where from could you please let me know .
