This is my old Gardenmaster Rotary Hoe I bought about 20 years ago,I've just finished fitting the third motor for it.
The original motor was a "Villiers" which was worn out when I bought it,I replaced it with a 2HP "Kirby", it ran well until last week. The flywheel turned but the piston didn't move, so that one went in the bin.

Now it has a 3HP "B&S I/C" motor, runs nice & quiet now, looking at the new hoes they don't appear to be built as sturdy as these old ones.
