Not trying to be crass here, but what part of "JUNK" do you not understand?

Crass Ummm..... scotty, At 14 years old, I love to see someone be curious on these type of things. Still lessons to be learned total loss or not. If anything he is being very neighborly by helping out. Better thin playing the wii, surfing the 'net or any video games the rest of his generation is doing. Go on jake, keep us posted, lets see pics of that fixed up guard

okay, here is the grill guard... it is a little bent up but it looks pretty good anyway. Its not like its going on a wall, its going on my Tractor. I just grinded off the old paint and some rust, took a sledge to straiten sone of it out, and painted it. Pretty simple. It will look great on my Yanmar.

Nice! What brand of tiller is that or, was it?

Lookin' good. I'm looking forward to seeing pix of it on the yanny.

BTW, I think you made some solid choices about what was worth playing with and what wasn't!

Jacob:

Seeing those pictures I have to say that Deere died a horrible death. I'm also glad you won't be trying to rehab it as you first thought.

Be careful, that ROPS looks like it would have seen quite a bit of heat at the base. Might twist up like a pretzel if you ever have to use it for what it was designed for.

Don't get me wrong Spruce! I appreciate his enthusiam, and certainly eagerness to learn how things work! A lot like myself as a lad. Just saying that this thread went from a re-build, to parting-out, to puddles of Aluminum, where the transmission used to be! Part of the learning process is learning what's practical, and what's not. Sorry if I came on too strong! Amen on the Video games, Wii, etc. Get out in the 'Shop' where the real (greasy) fun is! ~Scotty

I live by this very strongly even as a kid just on 35 acres...pretty much an island with no other land around it that is not covered in buildings. And I go into that mess daily...

It is an Agric AL-50-C model rototiller.50" width. It appears to be in good shape but I plan to replace the PTO shaft and check inside the gearbox for damage. Ive never seen the inside of a tiller gear box so figuring out what seals i'll need will be a challenge. I also noticed that what probably were 2 bolts are melted so I will have fun taking that apart. Any help I can get with diagrams and such will graetly help with the tiller. I sprayed the tiller off with the hose and noticed there was still some oil on it, is this a good sign? I wanted to use the ROPS on my Simplicity tractor as it does not weigh as much as the tractor it was on and there was a bracket that kept the ROPS from bending or warping. The ROPS still are really strong. When i was taking them off, I was suprised on how light they were. I expected them to be heavier. The bucket is warped on the cutting edge, so I will have to try to bend it back. I want to try to save it and either sell it, use it on my Dad's 3720, or make a mount to put it on my 3 point hitch of my Yanmar. Then i can have an excuse to buy a hydraulic top link.

Jacob- Looks like that could be a "Keeper", especially since you've got the data plate! Go to Google.com and search Agric+tiller. ~Scotty
