This is a gorgeous tiller, I have a strikingly similar one, although not restored like this one. Still, it runs like a champ. But I don't have much detail on the year this was manufactured. What year is this one?
Thx!! Being a Briggs I don't think they say in the engine numbers. I just got it 2 years ago- customer didn't want to pay for a replacement wheel!!!!! $12 wheel later and new paint, tada!!!! Sorry, long way to say it was pretty old when I got it so I don't know the year. ps. see my video on how to open epair the tines gear box if it is leaking oil so you don't destroy the gears inside running it dry.
I recently saw another video that suggested that the three sets of numbers next to your model indicate the year of manufacture. It is that third set of numbers that show the year. The first two digits in that first set are supposed to be the year of manufacture. I can't read them in your video, but I would be interested. I'll check mine when I have a few minutes.
