So I’ve been on the lookout for a garden tiller. The new stuff is mostly garbage. A neighbor was getting rid of a 1960 Montgomery ward tiller with an engine that was shot.
So I took a 1957 tecumseh engine off my grandfathers old snowblower that has not been used in 25 years. He died in 1969. Rebuilt the carb, fixed the ignition coil and a few other basic fixes. Also was able to use the clutch off the snowblower for the tiller. Not shown here - Replaced the rusted out muffler with a gray electrical box with some holes and a household sponge. Looks like Frankenstein but works great. I tilled what will be a garden this spring in a 100 x 50 spot out back. Already planted garlic.
Here she is
