benredux's Heavyduty rototiller
Rating:
Description: This is a 1970 Montgomary Wards 5HP rototiller that I picked up on craigslist for free. It was in sad rusted shape when I got it, but after some TLC (and new parts) it's running like a champ.
UPDATE 2 JULY 2011: Just rebuilt the carburator, replaced the fuel gaskets, intake hoses, and flushed out the rust from the bottom of the fuel tank. Starts up easy again.
benredux's Personal Story: The instruction plate is missing, but it's pretty easy to start:
Pull out the choke,
Push in the throttle,
Pull the starter cord and...
ROAR THROUGH YOUR LAWN TURF IN THR NAME OF VEGGIES!

COMMUNITY FEEDBACK IS IMPORTANT!

Ben's rototiller didn't end up working out great for me, as it takes (at least when I had it) more mechanical savvy than I have to keep it running. Ben said he used it for his whole yard, but he's also a mechanic and tecchie of several sorts - and I'm not :-(
