[AT] Semi OT....Troy Bilt Junior Tiller issues

[Michael Miller]

Larry, Jeff, and all....


Many thanks for your help.  I don't remember if I thanked you all or not.   
I played with the linkage a little and got it running better.   
Unfortunetly, my father was using this tiller in his garden around his apple 
trees and blew it up :-(  Threw the rod right out the side of the block.   
He said it seemed like it ran very fast but it wasn't turning any faster 
than any other one I've run.   I pulled the oil plug and it was very low.   
Regardless, if anyone needs a parts machine I have one.   I also have a 
brand new furrower kit for the thing.

Thanks
Mike
