Show off your tillers!

Or here's an idea for my tiller. Will a Honda GX or GC engine drop right in place of my Briggs side valve?

 

[Stihl036]

Never knew such a thing existed. Back then, Troy Bilt ads worked hard to convince you that front tines were only for knuckle dragging morons.

It's true.

If your garden is fenced in, those front tines allow you to till the corners easily.

Ok, so the carburetor is on the Fritz in my Honda GC-190 powered Cub Cadet tiller. Looks like you can buy the whole carb for less than what parts would cost. Engine numbers are GCAAA 1755445 MHA2. The carb part number I'm getting is 16100-Z1A-802. Does that sound correct?

Not mine, I saw it listed on Marketplace and thought it was kinda cool. I don't recall ever seeing an earlier electric tiller like this one before.
I guess your garden better be close by....lol

Friend gave me this one:





Needs a lot of work. Gas tank full of rust (cleaned out now - vinegar at 45% concentration), take off the head and clean the valves and intake port, rebuild the carb (rusty and gunked up bad). Had two flats (holding air for now - filled with 4 Oz of Slime each), and the list goes on and on.

Anyone know where to get new labels - these are peeling off and very brittle.

Head after clean-up:



Should have taken a "before" picture, but was more interested in getting it cleaned up and ready to go back onto the cylinder.

1971 Troy Built Horse. Original 6HP Tecumseh has only needed tuneup/maintenance parts. Just put a new set of original hard face tines on and prepped a new blueberry patch. Still does a nice job.

Well, after all the engine work, it still doesn't run. Compression is only 45 PSI after new head gasket, cleaning valves, etc. Engine is too old and tired to work anymore. Going to re-power with a HF 6HP Predator engine. I'll save the old Briggs for another day.
