Default Diesel rotavator

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?


Baz, have a look here....

Nice one. I will explore it in depth when I can soon. Just the sort of
thing I am looking for.
Right now, seeing that I have a very long weekend, I have the thing started
and running, and am going to run it over the garden 'cos I can't wait.
It's been running for about 5mins and it sounds less rattly and no smoke so
I think it would be rude not to give it a go. New toy.

Thanks for the link
