Thank you, the lady I bought the Howard off is disposing of her father’s collection and had one and I had never seen one before. I am helping her identify what some of the items are so she can get fair prices.

Thanks Charlie, I thought I had but can’t see it anywhere, will try again.

coxey1979 replied to the topic Howard Bullfinch Rotor Oil Seals in the forum Help and information 4 years, 7 months ago

I too have just got a bullfinch missing the elbow and drive belt and also leaking at the seals. Could anyone point me the direction of a manual? The Howard site throws up an error if you get past the safety warning. Also what is the rectangular loop near the engagement lever?

Take care and stay safe, Mike.
