Can I save it from the SCRAP PILE? Repowering my abandoned tiller | Garage Story

- Today I had an idea for a way to save my abandoned rototiller from going to the scrap yard! The tiller had a bad engine, but I have a running engine from a pressure washer that I think I can drop right in and bring my tiller to life again! But as always, the story doesn't end there; things don't go according to plan and we have issues come up, so we'll end up dismantling a couple of Briggs and Stratton push mower engines to diagnose the problems and find the right parts. Come along and see what we learn!
Welcome to Garage Story!
I'm in the business of hunting up old lawn mowers and other small machines, and either parting them out, or fixing them up and selling them for profit. Come along for the ride with my weekly vlogs, and how-to videos.

Don't be afraid to use Screw Extractors to get broken bolts out. Invest in some small sized punches, that's how you start small drill holes in bolts. And if you're missing a certain size screw extractor just start out drilling the whole small and use the smaller size screw extractors. Once you get a little practice at them they are actually will be your best friend. Keep up the good work!! I love watching your videos😊
Thank you!
When you're using a tiller you should use the bar in the back to control the tiller. The deeper the bar the deeper the tier will dig.
Congratulations on getting it all figured out!
I’ve struggled with broken bolt removal myself - you were SO lucky for that one to back out ok! Last I tried to do I snapped two easy outs in my drilled hole and finally gave up and figured out another fix.
My husband says if you don't know about the drag bar on the back of the tiller. If you adjust it down it will keep the tiller from pulling you along. He says this is his favorite kind of tiller and he loves your channel.
Thank you! For some reason I thought that bar had something to do with the tiller depth.
I’m glad he enjoys the channel!
Don't be so indecisive it's only a small motor not a rocket ship go with your gut and do it.
I’m learning! That’s something I’ve struggled with…😐
@@garagestoryYou're not wrong, it is for tilling depth, manuals even call it a depth adjuster.
Maybe it serves multiple purposes! I also could see that it rips the section of ground between the two sets of tines.
Great work , those briggs are unkillable the tiller will last long time now. I fixed 100 of these engine never seen one break the intake manifold like that before
I think it broke because it wasn’t supported properly due to the missing bolt.
Working your magic again . Great fix .
Thank you!
Great vid! That first bit was super funny!
Glad they put 2 different styles of key Way keys to get it mounted to the what ever you want to mounted to
Yes, that worked out well!
@@garagestory glad to hear that garage story
This channel is gona go far still
Good job 👍🏻
Thank you!!
