mhlmeader 689 #1 Posted July 4, 2019 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!! 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Razorback 1,035 #4 Posted July 4, 2019 (edited) 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.
