This is my work in progress. I am using it to grade my side yard. We used to have a garden The Tiller has a 5HP Briggs Engine. It's smoking a bit. More than I'd like and I had to richen the mixture screw up quite a bit to get it to work.
Bought it on ebay. It was a no spark no start. cleaning out the tank rebuild of the carb. Magnetron coil with a Fresh plug and it fired up. But like I said it's using some oil.
I really want an old B series or Landlord with a tiller. This is a heavy duty machine but I'd rather drive something. |

Don't Remind me... I tracked dirt everywhere.  I have a set of extension tines for this tiller but I don't think it has the ponies to drive it. I think it would wheeze too much and cause a catastrophic failure. Rod/Suck a Valve/Lock up or something. I think the motor sat too long and was abused long before it reached me.
I have another 5HP Briggs that I was considering doing a rebuild on. It is similar vintage but has a secondary Counter rotating shaft from a Toro Tiller. (Used to be Dads) Has similar problem Lack of Compression. I don't know if it's a long enough winter that tiller might get a full overhaul unless I find a nice tractor/tiller combo. |

The tractors have a wider tiller section and it's a little cleaner job riding verses walking in the dirt. |
