I bet it was in fairly rough shape. Btw, i bought a sears roto spader (front tine) on craigslist last month. Gave 40.00 dollars for it. Tiller has been outside for a year or so. Long story short, i changed the engine oil and cleaned gas tank and refilled with fresh fuel. Pulled on the starter rope a few times and no start. Checked the plug for spark and as i figured, no spark. Yanked starter clutch and flywheel, cleaned and adjusted points. Reassembled everything, and hit it with a few shots of starting fluid and it busted right off! Now all i need is an owners manual so i can find out what type of oil goes into the tiller gearbox. I have about 60 bucks into it so far. Heck...., now i have something to make a vid with. Watchout for an upcoming vid! I can't promise it will be a good one, but what the heck. John

Thanks, you should have seen it before I started.
Deck looks good.
I would assume 90 / 140 gear oil for the gear box.
