Troy built horse tiller

[mhlmeader 689]

Hi folks, picked this up today for 65$.  Had compression, but no spark.  Took it home opened it up, broken wire on the coil.  Got points,  condensor, coil, new plug.  8 HOURS LATER!!!! I finally had it going!!!  I am by no stretch of the imagination an engine savvy kinda guy, but I do like the challenge and experience of getting stuff running that once wasn't.  Maybe next time I'll cut it down to 4 hours.  Anywho, I originally was just wanting it for the engine, but I think I'm gonna leave it be for now and tare up the yard some!!!. Last picture is the heat of battle working on it!!

I have a 1974 Horse tiller that I like very much. Those are rugged machines. Great to keep, or easy to find a buyer if you want to sell.

 

You can tell by the serial number when the tiller was made. If you don’t already know that, post the serial number ( it is part of the casting above one of the tires..... left, I think ) and I have a document that will tell when it was made.
