I was given a Howard Gem Hatz 780 24" rotavator. I gave the chap £100
anyway.
It has a Kohler K301T engine.
It is in need of a good overhaul and was wondering if there are any like
minded people here. I will need engine parts though I have had it
started.
Of course it looks like a heap of scrap and I am new to diesel engines
but
I think I can do it.
If this is the wrong group, which I know it is, can someone point me
to the
correct group?

Thanks
Baz


Can't help you with your questions Baz but can endorse the Howard Gem.
Had one when I had the large garden in Leicester, that was a work horse.
(Petrol though)

2 Blocks of flats now :-)

I never thought of converting my old Howard Gem into flats. I'd have
thought they would be a little cramped even if it is a fairly large
rotavator
