You are looking for something that is very rare. I have seen several Howards and all but one was damaged. the one that is clean is in my 8N. Finding parts is also tough I have a close freind that is buying up evey one that comes his way and they all have damage to the gears. He has one that in my opinion is usable for a show tractor but not for its intended use. I have run a 4' tiller on my 8N and it worked pretty good but I would not go out and serch for one and pay big bucks for it when there are so many other cost frendly and more durable tools. Like Dell say's put a single 16" or two 14" on the old girl and let her go. just my 2 pennys worth. Ross

Paul..... ..Rotavator was the Howard company trade name for a rearmounted rototiller. Very popular in England and part of the English industrial recovery scheme along with MG and Jaguar Sports cars being shipped to the colonys after WW2. Unfortunately, N-Tractors are not rototillering machines, too high geared. Howard developed an auxillary tranny that mounted between the main N-tranny and the differential. They were not the most robust. The more common aux tranny is the Sherman that mounts between the engine and the N-tranny and slows down the PTO at the same time.

Every spring, the N-Board gets the same type of questions, "why can't I rototill with my N-Tractor", and unfortunately the answer is still the same. Too high geared. But the N-Tractor is a 2-bottom plowing fool and will till more acres per hr than any rototiller ever thought of doing.

At one time in my long-ago, I distincly remember N's pulling separtate engined rototillers and therefore didnot need the PTO drive. and the 3-Point hydraulic lift was just great. But I don't remember anything else about them, except I saw them at farm auctions both in central valley of California grape country and in Oregons Willomette Valley. I was looking for a N-Tractor that I could afford. An oxymoron I think..... ..Dell

Tom, I'm not sure if your looking for the complete Howard reduction gears or parts to fix your current one. I just tonight finished taking my Howard out and putting it back to stock. The Howard Reduction gear was very fragile and broke in the same place on most of them. I searched high and low and could find none. I even heard of a guy that went to a machinist to have the gear made and the cost was prohibitive. I gave up and converted it back to original. I had two guys that wanted my old Howard, so I suspect that if you know the right person you might be able to find parts, but I couldn't. Good luck.
