Problems with Google.
Guys I am trying to find a online manual for a Victa Tillit Rotary Hoe that was made in the USA. When I go into Google.Com to do a search, it keeps redirecting me back to Aussie sites that can't find the manual. Does anyone know how to get around this problem.
Thanks,
Crocy.

Crocy,
When you do your Google Search, leave the "Victa" out of the name. In the USA, the device was marketed as the "Tilit Rotary Hoe".
I suspect that this out of print book is probably what you're looking for ......
https://books.google.com.au/books/ab...AJ&redir_esc=y
It looks like you might be able to get to read it via Google Books, if you have a Google Books account. Or alternatively, more searching of Google using the name of that book might just lead you to a scanned copy that you could download, if you're lucky. Another place to try for any relevant information could be the National Historical Machinery Association of Australia. They have a decent sized library relating to old machinery, as do many of their affiliated associations around Australia. Maybe send them an email and see if they can point you in the right direction.

Geoff, thanks for that, the computor whizz is doing it tonight.
Roy, thanks for your help as well.
I tried all the different ways of searching as i had found it previously when searching on Google.com
I did not print one at the time thinking it would always be there but as i could not remember who made it in the US, I was lost. Well I accidently found a garden power tool forum, joined up and in the 2nd thread I found it was a MTD machine and someone posted a PDF of the manual. It was a slightly different model, but close enough for what I need to find out about the gearbox. I am doing a total rebuild to this 35 year old machine and now I can finish it.
thanks again guys,
rgds,
Crocy.
