New Toy
« on: November 26, 2006, 16:04:46 »
Took a different route of the village the other day whilst at the parents & found this little beauty for sale!!!   Sent Dad up to have a look & received a phone call approx 1/2 hour later telling me I was the proud owner of a fully working rotavator.   It starts first pull and works a treat (I've already turned Dad's garden over).   The owner has had to give up gardening due to age and ill health.   The price on the side is what I paid for it....bargain or what?

Same as mine - except for the price.  What a find!!

IF you should ever have a problem starting it, a drizzle of fuel into the air filter works wonders.
