[AT] Mystery tiller

[Mike Sloane]

A gentleman named John Nagel wrote asking me for information on a Howard 
Rotovator he acquired from a friend. He also sent some images which I 
posted at: <http://public.fotki.com/mikesloane/tools__equipment//>, 
labeled "Howard1", "Howard2", etc. His main concern is to identify the 
engine so he can obtain parts to get the ignition working properly.

Here is his note:

If you can help him, please send him a note 
<jagfishesfla at eriecoast.com/> and maybe copy the list, as it is an 
interesting piece of equipment. I am familiar with tractor attached 
Rotovators, but I didn't realize they also made self propelled units.
