	I won't know what model number this tiller is until I pick it
up tomorrow. The seller told me I get the Operators manual with it. The
only thing I see that needs attention is on the left side where the roller
chain is under a guard, the chain needs tensioning or a link taken out.
Otherwise this thing has only been used 3 times in a garden since all the
tines were replaced. I hardly see any wear on them at all. My intent is
to use it with my Allis D-12 Series III that has live PTO and 8 speeds
forward - one of which is so slow it would put you to sleep watching it.
I like to plow my garden first and then rototill but since I turned 70
years old a few years ago, walking behind a TroyBilt isn't all that much
fun any more.
