    I am going to fit a new engine to one of my Howard Clifford 700 rotavators and am not sure how to integrate it with the existing mountings. Will my existing drive from old engine fit new engine and should the mounting brackets all line up? any advice or instructions would be gratefully received before I get too old for this type of project.

    Also, does anyone know who can restore / repair a Hirth 2 stroke Diesel engine and 2 Villiers Engines from 700 rotavators Ian.

    700s are my great passion , personally I much prefer to keep them original , the weight distribution was nigh on perfect. I’ve never fitted a replacement engine , but a number of people have…. I just love the sound, power and ease of starting of the 28B engine. I have amassed a number of engine spares over the years which should keep my two going long after I’m about.

    Andy.
