Hello Everyone,
Well winter has come...cold and snowy but the Eagles are in the Super Bowl. I have numerous collectors email me with stories and pictures of machines that I had little or no information about. Several interesting machines were on ebay.com also.  This Ariens Yardster was on ebay, I forgot to watch it to see what it sold for. In the background is the mower attachment for the Yardster; remove the tiller section and install the mower. A sprayer attachment was also offered by Ariens.  This is a Bullfinch owned by Geoff Rooks in the UK. Bullfinch was called the Bulldog when it first came out. I'm not sure about the paint job.  This Howard was on ebay.com, what model was not mention, a collector did email me saying he also had one but he just called it a Howard Rotavator. The engine is mounted crossway instead of inline with the frame.  This Howard Yeoman sold on ebay.com for $202.50, there was 50 bids starting at $0.99. A total of 995 hits were recorded for the auction.

Dan Bruins Slot owns this Bell Aircraft built Prime Mover, note the Graham-Paige engine laying sideways in the frame. The engine is kick started by the pedal in the rear. This was the second Prime Mover that someone sent me a picture of.  Mulsifier, owned by Dale Brown, the Wisconsin engine Model AKN was made in 1950.
