[QUOTE="Hunter 257W, post: 3993881, member: 12277"] That's a TroyBuilt "Horse" model right? Those are definitely good machines. I have one my Father bought in the mid or late 70's that has been used a LOT. We used to have 2 big gardens every year - one about 1/4 acre and the other somewhat larger. That tiller did it all for over 35 years. Granted the engine was swapped out several times. The original Tecumseh 8HP broke a connecting rod. It's had 2 different Briggs 8Hp engines since then and the tiller itself has been rebuilt twice. That's one thing I love about those old TroyBuilts. They were designed so that you could rebuild them indefinitely if you want to. They are heavy and bust up the dirt so pretty that you hate to walk directly behind them 'cause you'll mess it up with foot prints! :) [/QUOTE]
