Howard E series 1 rotavator info.

Hi All,

I recently purchased a Howard E series one rotavator. It is in a working condition although the tin work is very poor, tines need replacing and oil is leaking out of the chain casing and gearbox almost as fast as I can put it in. My plan is to restore it. The problem is that I cannot find any manuals for this machine! I have found plenty information on all the other E series machines but not the series 1.
I am looking for help in locating these manuals please. I know it is a series one as it doesn't have the selectatilth gearbox and the brass plates serial number dates it to 1954.
Any help appreciated! Would this be a rare machine? Regards, James. NE Scotland, UK.
 
Any rotavator here in my part of the states would be a very rare machine, just not used here. Would not even have any idea what one would look like. Is it a 3 point unit? At that time 1954 there were no tractors around that could pull one. Even if it was a pull type unless it had its own engine there were no tractors that could go slow enough.
 
Hi Leroy thanks for input. It works off the PTO and mounted on 3 point linkage. There would have been tractors to drive it at that time, the TE20, for example, had been in production for many years by that point and the MF35 was just about to be released. It is the same basic design as the rest of the E series but with a different gearbox and clutch set up.
 
You must have different conditions over there than we have here. The TE_TO series Fergusons were way to fast to use anything like that on PTO, Here you would only be able to travel at a third of low gear and have the tiller work, At their speed in low gear it would just walk along on top of the ground.. Like a small front tine garden tiller would without anything to hold it back. I have heard of a Howerd speed reduction gearbox than be installed in the small Ford And Ferguson tractors for tillers but in my 73 years have never seen one or heard of any around.
