Yes, I'm sure there were variations. Seems to be the case with most of the small stuff. I'd like to read a full history of the evolution of "Troy-built Rototillers." I've read bits and pieces here and there, and have been told that several machines led to the Troy-built. As I understand it, the title or name "Rototiller" was originally held by Frazier-Simar - or something like that. I've got half a dozen of them in my barn but can't recall the exact name. Model B16 Rototillers with 2 stroke cycle engines and tine-hooks instead of tines. I've never understood the hype over Troy-built tillers, there were and are much better tillers around. But, I live near Troy and have a couple of Horse models, so I'm somewhat interested in the history.
