Tiller tow behind tiller owners?

mathey · Jun 10, 2005

Does anyone happen to own a unversal tow behind tiller? They are made by Agri-Fab and are sold by a bunch of stores, also the Craftsman model is the same as well. This is the one that has the B&S 5 hp engine on it...

I left mine out and it got water in the carb...so I took it apart and committed one of the cardinal rules of repair...now I can't figure out how the governor spring attaches... /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

Seems I have the same problem upon reassembly but usually have more spare parts.

Keep trying till you find a spot that looks right or visit a local store to look at one. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

( Keep trying till you find a spot that looks right )

I look at it every night, hoping a revelation will occur...I know how it's supposed to work, just can't figure out how this dang spring mounts.

Tried that...both TSC's are out of them for the year, and I doubt Sears has one on the floor...

We have another tiller we can use, might just have to wait till next spring when they are back in stock!

Maybe you can tell from one of the Illustrated Parts Lists at Briggs and Stratton? You'll need the model number from the engine. I'm not sure if you can tell from these or not.

tried that too...just shows the spring sitting all by itself /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

I've got a BearCat Chipper with a 5hp model 135202 and a BCS Tiller with an Industrial Plus 5hp model 133437. Are either of these similar to your engine? I might be able to get a picture of the spring anchor point on either of these, if it would help.
