Realised today that I hadn't posted any photos of the finished product. The only giveway as to the magneto conversion is that the cover is lifted to clear the conversion flywheel.

It is a horrible machine to use - too heavy with all that cast iron in the base and small narrow wheels. I can see why they weren't sold in Australia as no self respecting Aussie would have used one. My old Landmaster Rotary Hoe is ten times better to use.
Any way hers the pics [Linked Image]
