I tried to post a message on this site but my computer locked up on me so I will try again. I have several parts for the Frazier tillers and also some machines that need to be rebuilt. I just cannot do it any more. If I can be of any help to you, please feel free to let me know. My E-Mail address is chuck449@juno.com

In the 1950's, I watched my dad use the Frazier Rototiller. In the 1960's, I used them all the time in my dad's lawn business. They are better than that "Toro" brand that is on the market now. I have used them both and Frazier beats that Toro hands down.

They also have "Straight Tines" for tilling around tree roots.

My dad used to sell parts for the Frazier rototiller, and as far as I know, he still has parts for them. He used to buy, fix them up, and sell them to people who was interested in doing lawn and garden bussiness. He also repaired them for people when they broke down.

I believe he still has a few of them and parts left. I will contact him to see if he wants me to post his e-mail address on this page.

this is a 2 cycle motor and this same engine was used in a realy nice lookin garden tractor of the same colors it had a high and low range and a very unusal sound. The tillers I am told were terrific. The company that made them is still in business, they do service for sure and can help you find parts they sell and have a list of people out there with parts. The address is Frazer Farm Equipment Company 1919 South Wayne Srteet POBOX 391 Auburn Indiana, 46706 Phone # 219-925-2210 Fax# 219-925-9896 I have not gotten mine running but they have been very helpful in getting me manuels and parts books. These are around and if anyone in Oregon has one they do not want any longer please call or write I think I will need 1 or 2 more to get mine running. Also out there somewhere are sickle bar mowers that go on the front of these. You need to take the tines of to hook it up. I have one and am looking foward to getting my frazer running to use with the sickle bar. My E-mail is Bennettor@aol.com I would appreciate hearing from yourself and others that have these fine machines and how you use it and how you got it running. hopr this helps with getting yours up again.

We refer to our Frazier Rototiller as the "Mankiller".. Affectionately of course!! Since my Father passed away, we do not have much use for it. But it is a fine and fully functional example of this extremely hard working and well engineered rototiller.Any assistance on its value would be appreciated. As we plan on selling it with all the Manuals and spare parts.
Any body interested??? email me!

One of these old tillers was recently auctioned off on ebay for just over $200. It was in need of a new jug and piston which may or may not be available. The availability and price of spares to keep these fine old machines running is probably hurting their value pretty severly.

I purchased a Frazer Rototiller in 1980 for $200. Parts were difficult to find even then and the cost was high. I've heard that Frazer Farm Equipment company does not provide support for these machines anymore.

I would be interested in any machines or partial machines to do some revesre engineering and manufacturing of components that are no longer available

Does anyone have information?

I have a number of reverse gears, transmission gears, carborator kits, and many small parts for these machines. I bought out a dealer and have his entire inventory. I have 5 machines, 2 working and 3 need work. I would like to find some information about the sickle bar attachment for the Frazier Rototiller. If your need parts, give me the part number and I'll look to see if I have it.

I own a Model B1-6 rototiller. It is in good running condition. I just used it the other day. It cuts a 24" path so it is quite a large machine. The serial # is 1330 and was build by the Frazer Equip Co. from Auburn, Indiana.

I am interested in selling the machine if anyone is interested.

I have 2 of these machines and have restored them
to good operating condition. Some spares are
no longer available but approximately 90% are.
Will gladly share any information with others
who have interest in these unique machines.

They employ a unique spring tine design which
pulverizes sod or other difficult material without
the bucking and pitching of the operator handles common in other rear tine machines. They are
large and heavy machines best suited to large
gardens. The people at Frazier in Auburn indicate
many of units were used commercially in truck farms and
house operations.

Steve,

I've got a Frazer Rototiller and am constantly looking for parts to restore the unit. I would be interested in contacting anyone with parts and supplies.

I'm also interested in manufacturing parts for these machines if Frazer Farm Equipment is no longer in this business.

Please contact me by email at rsoren@quixnet.net

The light is still on at Frazer. Many of the parts required to keep the machines operational are out of stock. I produced the tine carrier spring for them a little over a year ago. I still have some if you are unable to reach Frazer and need them.

They are out of tines for the machine and a tiller w/o tines isn't much good. Your best bet for finding parts is antique tractor shows. Every year there are several old hulks that show up at Portland Indiana. They occaisionally are auctioned on Ebay as well.

Steve

I have recently purchased the inventory of a parts dealer from Canton, Ohio. I have several parts that are no longer available in the parts catalogs I have. Contact me if you are in need of any parts.

I have 2 of the rototiller power tillers and have used them quite a bit. These machines are awesome! I have used them for tilling gardens, tree roots, driveways, and once accidently tilled up the pavement on the street in front of my house. One old boy near here was replacing the spring tines with 12-inch steel tines which allowed the tiller to compete with large tractors. I have purchased the correct 2-cycle oil at Powell Valley Implements in Portland, (the 8-to-1 fuel mix was quite critical without a newer adjustable main-jet carburetor). I am done with mine and they are both for sale. contact me if you like.
