Hi All,

I’ve just acquired this old rotavator, buried in a bush on an allotment.
I’m keen to restore this back to service on the allotment as a nod to the past allotment holders and their history.
Amazingly the gear lever still works and after a bit of an oiling, the handle height and blade depth handle move, even the existing Briggs & Stratton engine still turns over! Not that I’m contemplating restoring the engine. I’m actually considering keeping the tilling and drive unit as it is, just maintained in a good working order and fitting an electric motor unit, batteries and gear box to power the drive pulley, I own a battery powered lawn mower and find it works fantastic.
But I’m finding it hard to identify which model I actually have, I think it’s one of three, maybe a later production model since the handles are in a different configuration from what I can find online. It would be really helpful to narrow this down as it’s missing various levers and bits and bobs, even the name plate with the serial numbers on is missing.
Anyway any information as to what model it is or the engine specs would be very handy, maybe someone has already retro fitted an electric motor on one of these before and could offer advice?

Best regards

Aaron
