Doesn't look that bad at a 100 mph!

It's so pretty now I don't want to get it dirty. Done. It's so pretty now I don't want to get it dirty. When the ground dries I'll put it to work. Thanks for letting me share the journey

Second coat Finally some dry weather in the Pacific Northwest for a second coat of paint today..More orange to match Howard's original color. Decals tomorrow.

Howard Rotavator P40 I picked up another Howard. The price was right. So now I have a back up..I guess. The wife just shakes her head. Hmmmmmmm. P 40 Howard Rotavator. 53 inches wide 600lbs and heavy. Lightly used. A Howard Rotavator is as good as it gets, the Cadillac of rototillers. Original...

Few rocks here...clay.. It should go smoothly.

The Sub-soiler's are handy tools to have around the place.. Yes don't sell yourself short. I plan to modify mine with a bolt on pipe laying attachment similar to the photo.

Here is the tag.. Yours must be missing.

That's it! I considered mine a good buy. I have seen them go for $290. New manufactured ones are around $375.00 but NOT built like the old Dearborn's.. Yours is in good shape. Put it on CL's. You can always come down.

The Beast is painted ..Painted and now waiting for decals from England. Now waiting for Spring.

Thank you. What makes overhauling a piece of old equipment feasible today is the availability of the internet. Manuals and parts list for the Howard E Series II Rotavator ares still available. Plus Youtube videos and various blogs on any subject help out tremendously. I wouldn't be able to do...

Finished welding all cracks, etc, stopped leaks, and finally mounted the Howard on the tractor for a fit. Oh replaced all 30 tines after more than a 1/2 century of rusted and worn smooth nuts and bolts.. Lucked out didn't have to cut any. Something called Kroil works wonders..better than my old...

The importance of cleaning the spark arrestor on anything! Good point Collie.
