Tore my tiller apart in December to replace a suspected broken chain. Turned out the #50 chain had indeed broken. So i got a new chain and cleaned the case out and greased everything liberally. Got a gasket about a month later for it as the gasket was on backorder.
Today was nice out so i decided to get everything sandblasted.
There is a lot of rust and pitting on the inside of the cover/shield so i primered that today as well. Will add more pics when i get it painted.
I hope to have it ready for the gardening season.

I got my gasket from my Simplicity/ AGCO dealer. They had to order it and took about a month to get it. Sounds like a broken chain to me, as my tiller acted the same way when the chain broke. |

I have a 1760 AGCO Allis. The tiller stopped turning just as I got about 15 feet in garden. Now the pulley wheel spins freely and the tines on tiller spin freely. Where can I get the gasket since I suspect broken chain also? Thanks,

How the heck did I miss that! I wasn't aware Ace matched paint. I'll have to try them sometime soon! I want a match made for my early Simplicity stuff...that red-ish orange they used on the Wonderboy's and walk behinds. |

Looks real good Wes! It might be in your tractor resto topics, but what paint did you land on for this project? I like the color. |

Got it done and back together. Made my own belt release, think it will work fine. Hope to try it out once the rain stops.

I agree. Can't wait to do some tilling. Not sure what the weather will do, has been one of the strangest winters i can remember.
Thanks guys! |

Very nice...most of those old girls are in narly condition. The one I had was pretty thin at the very bottom, and I was able to push my finger through the rusted case. Worked like a champ, but had seen better days. You have a nice solid one there! |

Looking good. You should have that up and running in plenty of time for spring. |
