Howard selectmatic rotavator

My E series 60'' Howard ''Selectatilth''series 111 has its slip clutch in the same place.It has a cover over the top of that section of rotor which hides and protects the clutch. Haven't ever actually seen the clutch but the cover is a giveaway as it's a larger diameter than the rest of the rotor tube.Same pto input shaft as above and a slip clutch here was optional.Also has a lever for engaging/disengaging the gearbox for tractors that have to have the pto running for hydraulics to work...

That is not a slip clutch, it's just a rubber cushion
The slip clutch goes onto the gearbox input

Must be a very early one then
Just found a bit about them on the web and it seems mine doesn't have a slip clutch below the cover after all but has a rubber cushion drive instead. Its an E series Mk3 with the option of a clutch on the PTO shaft... which it doesn't have.The info also suggests the OPs is a Mk 1 and is the only one fitted with the clutch on the rotor and is only single speed and not Selectatilth... unless it's been modified over the years.

No. Got mine from local parts man. Any sparex/bepco/kramp etc dealer will supply
Realise it’s 3 years ago but I don’t suppose you have any info on that replacement UJ and lemon shaft ? I’ve got the same model (with the clutch) but with a solid square PTO shaft (hollow square shaft at the tractor end). Suspect it’s not the original shaft as there’s a lot of weld at the UJ end. Anyway, I want to convert it to a lemon u
i know that was 3 years ago but have you got any info on the replacement UJ

Can’t remember off hand what size but either measure the UJ up and order the correct pto shaft. Or take the UJ to a parts man and let him sort it
