Peter,

Could you send me photo and dimensions of Hirth starting handle, I’m trying to locate original one as mine is made up of bits and pieces.

I have a UK supplier who might be able to supply from original photo.

I am also looking for bucket attachment plus D.P. hitch for trailer and pick tines for rotovator.

Any help in locating above items appreciated.

One would do for me to get dimensions from.
