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.

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!

Looks great Wes. Tilling in the garden is one of my favorite things to do. Yours should run like new when your done.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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,

Dave

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.
