D_Mac 8,593 #1 Posted September 18, 2020 Took me some time to finish this project, but its done now. Picked it up at a garage sale this summer. I got this and a small 2 stroke snow blower for 40 bucks. Got them home and the Snapper snow blower started right up. I put new rubber paddles on it. See what it does when we get a little snow. The tiller needed the carb rebuilt. Then it was leaking a little gear oil from the seals on the left side of the tines. I had a heak of a time trying to remove it. had to take it to a friend who was a small engine mechanic for many years and he had a hard time too. Finally got it replaced. I tried to do the right side and it didnt seem to want to come out and wasnt leaking so I left it. Got it all painted with new decals and ready to sell it but not sure what its worth. I only see larger ones or smaller ones. None like this one. It has a 3.5hp Tecumseh, runs great. Almost makes me want to plant a garden ! 4 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHNJ701 4,165 #2 Posted September 18, 2020 They are great tillers to use. Probably better off waiting til spring to sell it. Value depends on your area. Around me 150 +/- 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
D_Mac 8,593 #3 Posted September 18, 2020 Couldnt find a model # on it. Not sure if it is what they call a " Tuffy". Has a pretty big rectangular cast iron gear box for the tines and another gear box for the wheels. The ones I see have a round gear box. It is built Heavy Duty that is for sure. Only thing I dont like about it is you have to pull the pins on the wheels so it rolls free. When you need to use it you pin the wheels to the axle so it drives.

WHNJ701 4,165 #4 Posted September 18, 2020 I think most tear tine tillers have the pin for free wheeling, it's painfully slow to move one while it's running 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
