[winston1]

May be some wore more than others.

Or they came loose and got lost in the field. Here's what I've got. I have to head to Tractor Supply to pick up feed anyway will see if they carry any spares. Looks like i am missing a dozen. Odd number of times, total, 31.

I think we have just seen the first Frankensteinmar tiller.

Looks like prior owner replaced missing tines with smaller ones off something else. Are the small ones sloppy in their mounting slots?

It measures 48"side to side inside. And I've been taking off the tines, many are loose and theblts are ruty, so I am cleaning them up or going to replace. Looks like 2 diff size/styles tines. Will post pics once tey're all off.

It's pricey, but stainless steel 316 or 316L bolts are way stronger than the generic stainless steel 18-8 bolts. Since it's a tiller pounding on the soil, I would invest in those bolts and nylocks.

48-inches = 1220mm. Thus, the Yanmar tiller is a RS1200 type. I'll look tonight for the RS120X variants to help you figure out exactly the right model.

only one is different - the others are all smaller or slender. I'm guessing she may have had another tiller and just popped it on there. It's missing like a dozen tines. but they all fit right.

TSC was useless. They didnt' even have the right size/kind bolts

I'll have to go to our real hardware store - they also need to be low profile heads so they embed so you can turn the nut. Some where replaced with odds and ends.

All were rusty.

Ah you just posted.

OK, since the Yanmar logo marking and the color don't match up, the RS1200 and it's related RSxx00 family are in the first PDF. The second PDF is the RC1200, somewhat related, but added for good measure as your tiller is difficult otherwise to identify.

The 48-inches really narrows things down in a good way to the 1200mm (1.2M) width size.

Good eye! Goodness, you are right, they are everso slightly different in size! I didn't even notice as I was stacking, just that some were slanted one way and others another. Lol wow. She said she's seen sets on eBay before. Once I figure out which is correct I will take a look.
