Yes the old rotavator word! My date of birth is a palindrome reads the same on a driving license, so what could it be! The initials and my sir name, spell out the area of the city where I was born in.So is that a fluke or was there something else going on.
So who am I?

Obviously not purchasing from the right place!
Toro agents,the best one is Direct Mowers,A Earnest Doe Company
I happen to run Toro’s in my business,they knock the spots off any Honda or Mountfield, and are far better priced than Hayter and yet Hayter is owned by them!

That auction site that will remain nameless,and that little known site on there,thats always flogging items of rare Horticultural brochures.

hdtrust replied to the topic HELP! need to find parts for a Howard British Junior Engine! in the forum Pedestrian operated machines 6 years, 1 month ago
One question why are you using at best a 1940’s engine for a 1907 Motorcycle? Surely you should be using a Bradbury engine,
I happen to know where there are 2 such engines,which may become available,ideal for your project.
This part is where I get my hands slapped Charlie! He’s a fully paid up member of the club!
