Clive Cassar 0 #1 Posted February 19 Hi everyone, I'm new to this forum and seeking some assistance with my Howard Gem restoration Project. I own a Howard Gem with a Sachs diesel air-cooled engine, and I am currently in the process of restoring it. unfortunately, the bonnet is missing and I 'm in need of a replacement. Upon researching I've discovered that there are two versions of the bonnet of the Howard Gem- one is squarish, and the other one is more rounded. It seems like mine is the rounded one. I was wondering if any one in this community has information on where I can purchase a replacement bonnet. If you have any leads, recommendations, or if you come across a reliable source for Howard Gem Bonnets or any other parts, I would greatly appreciate your guidance. Thank you in advance for your assistance, and I'm looking forward to being a part of this community! Best regards, Clive Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ranger 373 #2 Posted February 20 Hi Clive, Welcome to the forum. I don’t know whereabouts you are in the country, but the agricultural/ machinery auctioneers, “ Cheffins “ at Sutton nr Ely in Cambridgeshire have a machinery auction around the beginning of every month, and a “Vintage” auction three times a year. Have a look on their website, there are Howard Gem rotavators regularly offered in various states of repair. They have a catalogue online, usually about a couple of weeks before each sale. I’m sure there are also other auction houses, etc around the country if you look hard enough! Doug. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
