Hi all

here is a few pics of my rotovator. I paid £75.00 for her had not been started for two years when the previous owner gave up lotty. replaced spark plug removed tank and flushed out old petrol, cleaned air filter with 2 stoke, replaced engine oil, sprayed all moving parts with wd40. pulled the cord a few times and off she went.

my little heart was racing

so it runs well.

the sad part is i have not got the lotty yet and have nowhere to play with it :cry: :cry:

my neighbour says that it should have guards above the tines :?

cheers

great job!
thats a very standard briggs engine on there, so parts will be no problem at all.
could you not put up a really big window box to try her out?

Please feel free to come and help us in Whitley Bay!! We're not that far away and thinking about getting a rotovator for our allotment which is 130ft x 90ft. It would be good to see how they work and whether it is worth us spending the money. Watching several on ebay at the moment but they are mostly over £100 or too far away to pick up!
