[Grumpy old man]

I heard my neighbor banging around out in his garage He has 2-71 long beds and a 68 thats been in his garage for about 30 years with stuff stacked all over it . so I walked over to see what he was up to ,He's in his 70's and occasionally scraps engines he picks up from a number of local shops and he breaks them down for the heavy Aluminum / steel scrap , So I was looking thru his latest haul and found an intact Troy bilt horse rear tine tiller , If you've ever used one from the 70's they are built like a tank , They are still sold new today for about $2,300.00 ... So I had to dig it out and I look in the gas tank and it's clean and dry , Tires are good ,the tines are good , So I pulled the cord and it has good compression , So , Before i go to far I ask him if it's for sale , He says "It needs new belts and they cost to much so I'm going to scrap it for the steel " I bought it for $50.00 dumped some gas in it and it fired up on the first pull I already ordered the belts and new decals for it after I presure wash it today and change all the fluids shoot some new paint on it and its a quick fix and flip for a couple extra bucks , Way better than ending up in the scrap yard ! I know there has to be a few guys in here that spent hours behind one of these tillers ? I'll post a couple pictures when the sun comes up .
