    I listed a few saws on CL.

    Sold one today MS170. Transaction went smooth as clockwork while both of us learned a thing or two. :saw:

    I had quite a few more saws set out to gander upon when the gentleman offered a trade. My minty echo cs-400 in trade on a craftsman 900 series 17" dual rear tine tiller. The tiller needs a replacement carb which will be included.[​IMG][​IMG]

    Anyone have experience with this tiller? Thoughts and opinions appreciated.

    Also.... Will most likely be buying a used commercial 21" wall behind exmark mower from the same gentleman.

    That looks to be the same as my Husqvarna tiller? I've had it for 6-7 years and had nothing but positive things to say about it.

    Starts first pull after every Winter, and does my Garden in no time flat.

    Looks like my Dads Tiller and my Husky tiller. I bought mine two years ago, so far so good. Takes care of my 80 x 80 Garden nicely.

    Thanks for the replies!:cheers:
    He said it was a china copy of a honda engine. Not big on craftsman in general anymore but I feel it's a honest trade at our own values ($150-$200).

    Looks exactly like my husqvarna tiller. There is a grease fitting on the side of the drive gear. Keep it greased.
