    I am not known for my mechanical skills so am feeling quite chuffed with myself ..

    I bought an old rotovator for £40 at the weekend from a car boot ..Given it a bit of maintainance and got a new belt ,ajusted a few bits and its running good ..

    So even done a bit of rotovating on the allotment ..A good day

    Sounds like you saved yourself a bit of work there Dave. Unless you rotovated the weeds as well.:D:dbgrtmb:

    I spent a couple of days removing weeds .duly composted apart from the few dandilions and docks which are drying out to be burnt ...I have done all the rotovating and it looks a treat.
    Had a slight hiccup when bolt shuck lose from the carburettor....Managed to get another and added a spring washer which seemed to do the trick ..
