I have reason to need a rotorvator or tiller of some kind. I have actively looked for one a couple of times but am being a tight wad so most of what's available in working order is far over my budget.
I came across an old rotovator that looks something like this;

It's a non runner, but has a sethered ht lead. Compression is there... Somewhere... If you tell yourself that, and fuel seems to be getting through, and overall seems in a half usable state, apart from a very manky looking sludge in the gear drive so for the £50 I've been offered it for I'm inclined to take a chance on it.
Only, I haven't got a clue what make or anything it looks like it might be and can't make my mind up wether to have it or not.

Just wondered if anyone on here has a slightest interest in this type of thing? Thought if share it anyway

I also have one of these...

It's a clifford mk 4 with a "JAP" engine according to the picture! It has been sat for at least 16 years since I aquired it, and In excess of 10 years before that. We had it running once when we picked it up, then today after being prompted by my need for a rotovator, I pulled the carb apart and cleared the jets float etc and reassembled, I finally got it to run for about 30 seconds

it then seemed to starve of fuel and die again, so I'm guessing there was loads of crap down the fuel pipe and its once again carb off time!
It needs too much else doing to it to make it usable, but at least it runs!!
If anyone knows what the yellow one is I'm interested in, if appreciate to know

I never looked for an identification plate when I saw it earlier
