105 working

Decided to put the 105 to work while I think about the 782 driveshaft coupling adapter to the briggs flywheel. So after seaarching craigslist and many emails I finally found a 1a tiller in Vermont. Took the 7 and 1/2 hour round trip got home and hooked it up the next day. Finally had some nice weather her in SE NY and decided to put the tiller and 105 to work. A little premature with the tilling but figured I'd do it once in March then throw some horse, cow, and chicken manure in letting it leach into the soil then hitting it again in late April early May. The ground ended up being so muddy the I got the 105 stuck all the way up the bottom of the gearbox(didn't get any pictures of it because my hands were so muddy). I tried to pull her out with my car and some other ideas but with no success. Finally I ended up taking the tiller off (which I was trying not to do) to shed some weight tipped the 105 on her side. While holding it with one hand I took some wood planks, so the wheels wouldn't fall right back into the mud holes and did the same thing for the other side. Needless to say I got her out and with a little perseverance I finished tilling my garden and called it a day.

Looks fun!

Wish I had the dirt to do something like this. One pass in my "spread" and it'd be new septic time! :bash2:

Very nice looking garden plot and well worth the effort to "dig out".

Running a tiller is fun. I've been thinking about getting mine out but it's early march in SE MI...not yet.

Just put the tiller on my 149 the other day. Still too wet to till here in VA, but maybe in another couple weeks. I'm not getting mine that muddy!

The 149 and tiller are looking good!
