I have been working on a 3 hp roto-ette circa 1951, think it is a model 2, have the original manual plus both kinds of tines/choppers, parts guys have lots of fun teasing me about museums my 3 hp original engine was replaced with a white painted 3 hp motor, seems to be standard briggs, no points under the flywheel!!!, must fire off when she feels like its a good time to cut loose, runs like a champ, bolo tines are better for rocky ground around cranesville replaced all 4 oil seals, NAPA had them in stock based on the number on the original seal, pesky persistent oil seepage at lower tiller seam is driving me looney, might toss the works in the mohawk and be done with it I was told that when Garden Way folded, they had heaps of old Roto-ettes/Troy-bilts taken in on trade sitting in the weeds behind the building, everything went into gondolas for scrap metal, some tavern in Troy near the factory has/had some fully restored machines that used to sit inside factory lobby
