You need to Google 'rotary tiller or cultivator'. Suppose they're all rotavators to us but ''Rotavator'' is a tradename of Howard which is now part of Kongskilde which is part of CNH Industrial.Following on from this - who makes rotavators these days? Put in a goggle search and all you get is garden stuff.
Standen still make rotavators, which I think have some connection to the original Howard, via Dowdeswell.Following on from this - who makes rotavators these days? Put in a goggle search and all you get is garden stuff.

On a side note,always thought Howard was a British company but it would seem not. Originally Australian. More useless info............
Bet there are not many trailed ones left, must be near 30 years since I seen oneThere were several Howard companies.
The original Bedford England company made a lot of Agricultural equipment but did not make rotavators. They folded after WW1
Howard rotavator was started by a Mr Clifford Howard in Australia who had the idea of a motorised cultivator. Later as PTO became available he made trailed then mounted versions
Double scrap valueI spotted a Howard rotaseeder recently, long since disused and on a scrap pile, but complete and with a bit of tlc would be handy for reinstating draining jobs or peaty corners.
Any idea of what a sensible offer would be to make?

I went to advanced auto. Bought a roll of felpro gasket material. Make sure it's the 36 inch. Best I remember the chain case is 26 1/2 in lgnth and about 10 3/4 at its widest. I used a razor knife to cut it. Worked nicely. Bad new is gonna have to find new nuts and bolts. After all those years of use some of them just snapped off under the rachet.my old howard selectatilh rotavator has started leaking oil from the side casing where the chain runs, what involved in curing this leak, can you buy gaskets for these still or will i have to use some sort of paste on it
