Hello,
I just bought my 1st rototiller. I was told it was a 1985 8 hp BCS. Can anyone tell me where to look for the MFG. Year and the specs. It has an Acme engine. The tiller hood is red. It was stored for many years and the last owner put a new carb and plastic gas tank on it. It is running, the kill switch is gone, and the clutch lever is very tight. I bought it to till the rocky soil in my 1 acre Pinot vineyard. When I first tried it yesterday I only ran the tillers because in drive it almost got away from me in the slow gear. I could use some advice on where to begin.
It is a very beefy piece of gear. The tires seem a bit close together, what is the best width and is it changeable?
Thanks in advance,
Bobby
