Hey guys!! So, this isnt a welding project, but its what I've been up to lately here...
My mom is an avid gardener, and has had this BCS tiller for years, but its had engine problems since it was about a year old. It had an electric start system that only worked for one season, and this year it wouldn't start unless it got starting fluid, it would never run right, it leaked oil, and made this ungodly high pitched squeal, and it was always hard to pull start (an issue for a woman with a bad back).
We decided that something had to be done, and our options were:
1) Buy a new tiller 2) Rebuild Old engine, go through the electrical system, fix/replace broken controls, etc 3) Buy a new engine, be done with it
So, I sat down with her and explained all these options, and she decided on a new engine.
About a week later, a brand new Honda GX200 showed up from Northern Tool, and my sister and I started taking the tiller apart. We cut off the electrical system entirely (new engine isnt set up for that), got rid of everything on the handlebars except for the clutch lever, and cleaned it up some. After we got the engine out, we found something that looked like part of a missile on the back of it, which was covered in warnings and looked potentially deadly. I still to this day don't know or understand what it was, but the guys here on this forum said I should be able to just swap it over to the new engine, and I did. So, thanks for the advice there. Here are a couple videos we shot about the process, just thought I'd share. Theres more in the videos about a couple small roadblocks we hit, and a few other things, but anyway, enjoy them and have a good weekend everyone, yeehaw!! :)

Today's Featured Article - A Cautionary Tale - by Ian Minshull. In the early 1950s my father bought an Allis Chalmers B and I used it for all the row crop work with the mangolds and potatoes, rolling and the haymaking on our farm. The farm and the Allis were sold and I have spent a lifetime working on farms throughout the country. I promised myself that one day I would own an Allis. That time event
