I've got an old Lowes(MTD) tiller, 1993 model, that's been a real good tiller. But it's time for a carb rebuild, new muffler, new pull rope, and a new set of tines(old ones are pretty much non existent at this point, they have to be replaced). The cheapest I can find tines(single tine blade, no nuts and bolts) online is $190 shipped. So by the time I'm finished, I'm gonna have well over $200 in fixing this old tiller up.
Priced new ones, and the MTD's (Cub Cadet, Troy Built, Huskee, Craftsman), and Husqvarna's are all in the $600 to $800 range, with the $800 range tillers probably being about equal to the old Lowes tiller I have now(forward and reverse gear, dual direction tines). So question is, what's the best thing to do?? My old Lowes tiller has a plain jane Briggs 5hp motor, just wonder how much life the motor actaully has and if it and the gear box on the old tiller is worth the $200+ investment. Appreicate any suggestions...
