On the local Craigslist there is a MTD rear tine tiller for $125. Problem is the trans is screwed. It operates fine forward and reverse. But the tines jump out of gear. So it gave me the idea. How hard would it be to find an older rear tine tiller and turn it into a walk behind tractor? I know the MTD used a uni-body ( for lack of a better word) design on their tillers but what about an older troy bilt? Troy bilt had/has a worm gear design. Cut the main shaft shorter and machine a new back plate? What brand(s) would be easist to remove tines? Also need a machine with some heft to it. Ideas? Like I said just a idea that popped into my head.
