hi folks, newbie here; have just inherited a Howard rotovator . I was told it was yeoman model but i am not to sure if it is. It has a Briggs and stratton engine. I cannot find out any information to find out what it is. The back end looks like a Howard 400 but they don't talk about there being a Briggs and stratton in that model. I have  found the model type and code numbers of the engine. i have been talking to Briggs and stratton dealers and none of the numbers match up being it's such an old model. Has anybody out there got a yeoman manual where they talk about a Briggs and stratton engine. If you ave any information that could help me it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks hothouse

A yeoman has a 4 lever gear selection system and a toolbox between the handles,does your machine have this?
I tried attaching a picture but the file size allowance was too small.

I seem to think there was a discussion recently on http://www.tractorbox.co.uk/forum/forum_topics.asp?FID=5 about an unusual Model, Type, Code defying B&S engine on a Howard recently.  Bit naughty of me pointing you to another forum but I do know there is some good genuine Howard knowledge lurking on there.

I'd stick with AGV as there are some very well informed people on here who, if they can't solve your problem, will know of somewhere you can find the information that you require.

Smud6ie that's a lovely looking machine.  Reminds me of my little Howard 200 bless its orange paint-work.
