Howard Rotovator Spares
Posted: Sun Aug 24, 2008 8:33 pm
Hi All,
Just got my hands on an old Howard rotovator, it's a 60" Selectatilth, but the last owner ran it without oil in the chain casing and has almost melted the top bearing. The gearbox has survived and does everything it should, the bottom bearing in the chain casing seems ok, but the oil seal behind it is most probably shot and is probably the reason why it had no oil in it. If I can get my hands on a bearing, an oil seal and a set of blades it will be restored to working condition. Are Howard still available to order parts from or will I have to go to my nearest bearing stockist for parts. I believe Agriline do blades.
