Hi Deejay,

Your efforts in trying to find out information are appreciated.

I have some good news. My edger is complete and is usually a first pull starter engine.

I managed to strike it lucky at the recycle yard and find another Tilt a Cut. Its only the second one I have ever found and it only set me back $20. So I used this one for spares to finish mine. Plus I now have a spare tilt a cut engine, base and cutter shaft. They will come in handy to repair broken engines and selling them on.

Overall I am pretty happy with the outcome. It runs pretty smooth for what I estimate is a late 70's/ early 80's engine. This one is staying in MY shed.





The old girl needed a fair bit of work including:
New Drive Belt
New outer spindle bearing
Complete carby overhaul
Install blade guard and belt cover
Cleaned down the piston and rings (were in surprisingly good condition)
New Head and Base gaskets
New Round cutter blade
