Super job...I remember those old Coast to Coast stores as they provided many products at reasonable prices. The Western Auto Stores were also located in many small towns during the 50's and 60's throughout the Midwest. When growing up on a small farm in Northern Indiana, these stores provided almost all products needed to maintain yards, barns, vehicles and houses. Love watching your videos as your learning experiences resemble much of what I have experienced throughout my life (75 years) . Keep on keepin on !! Rick H in Central Florida
I used to love to go to the Coast to Coast Hardware Store with my uncle, when I was a kid. It was the first "modern style " hardware store, in it's day that also carried hunting and fishing gear, along with the standard hardware items. The one thing I dislike about the tiller, and you guys will also, is the front tines, because they will work you to death. A rear tines tiller is a lot easier to use. Good job on the repair.
Well done. A tiller just makes the garden prep so much easier. I've bought so many tools that I've only used once but sometimes you just have to. Getting that socket was smart.
Good one... I enjoyed seeing you bring it back to life. This reminds me of all the things people throw out that could be fixed if they had the know-how.
Thanks jack! I’ve found riding mowers at the dump, literally hooked the battery and it fired right up. It’s crazy the things that are treated as consumables.
Just picked on of these up, a Plowhorse 555 with a little B&S engine. Same initial situation on the no start. Haven't looked too far into it at the moment, but I'm assuming rust on the flywheel/magnet along with old points and likely a gummed-up carb.
Checked Facebook Marketplace yesterday, rototillers as old or older then yours and they want at least $300.00 Canadian dollars ( $ 240.00 USA dollars ) around here ( Ottawa, Ontario ).
I know you posted this several years ago. The times quit turning on mine. Checked belts. Is there a shear pin that I can't locate? Went up and back in garden then it stopped turning that next swipe? Any suggestions?
i have that same tiller but need to find the serial number so i can order parts where are the numbers lol i have taken every thing off an cleaned the motor of and have not found any numbers how did you order parts for yours also did your coil have two wires coming from it to the condenser ?? you are the only one that has my tiller lol on the entire web , outside of you, i cant find anything

Thanks Rick. It’s cool hearing the history, I’d never heard of this store until I got the tiller. Super interesting. Thanks for watching!
a working knowledge and a little elbow grease just saved $1000 for a new machine .good stuff!!
Awesome work. I have always struggled with small engine repairs.
I wish I could do small engine repair like that..I have weed wackers, lawn mowers, and a generator that I know are good but wont start! Nice work!
Dude, clean the carb and check for spark. All there is to it.
I was born in 1981.. I feel the way that Rototiller looks 😂🤣😂🤣
Lol a few new parts make all the difference..

Thanks Craig. This big front tine will be a bucking bull!
Top job geweldig gedaan 👍💪✊ Groetjes uit Holland 👋🏼✊
Awesome project
Awesome job.... your a handy dude
Sweet. Nice job.
Got an even older one that kicks ass (and my muscles!).
I’ve never heard of Coast to Coast, neat old tiller tho I love it. Good luck with it, you’ll be gardening with that for years
Good score!!!! A rototiller is a MUST HAVE for any prosperous homestead gardening!!!! So glad you got it running!!!
Well done. A tiller just makes the garden prep so much easier.

Thanks Chris. Agreed. It’s just one of those things. The hammer wasn’t the best tool here lol. Arguably
Good job 👍
Thanks!

..always good to bring old iron back to life, nice one, stay safe...
Great job getting the tiller running. Nothing beats growing your own food. I cheat by using a 4’ tiller. Helps when you get older lol. Great job!!
Good job, and thanks for the knowledge. The honesty is appreciated 👍🗽🇺🇸

My dad had had one that looked like that from sears we used that thing forever on 5 acres
Impressive!
Good job verry nice

That’s about where a running tiller bottoms out, pretty crazy. We’re about $60 into this one so not bad.
Great job! I am impressed. Are you going to bring in some topsoil for the garden?
starter fluid, the vodka in my coffee
Bong and a blintz

i have that same tiller but need to find the serial number so i can order parts where are the numbers lol i have taken every thing off an cleaned the motor of and have not found any numbers how did you order parts for yours
also did your coil have two wires coming from it to the condenser ??
you are the only one that has my tiller lol on the entire web , outside of you, i cant find anything
how did you find replacement parts? i have the same tiller and the starter clutch broke.
Just Amazon. You need to look up the motor. Use the serial number. All Briggs parts are pretty common.
@@LaidBackLivingquestion on rototiller.
C toC. Times quit turning. Belts good. Shear pin?
