The good news is that this old Sherman tank of a tiller's engine starts and runs. The task now is to replace the two missing belts and get all of the idlers freed up and the recoil to work the way it should. Attempting to find a manual online is a minefield of websites who are trying to download malicious exe files and bull toolbars to your PC, so I'm trying here instead. Any assistance in locating exploded parts diagrams or ANYTHING related to parts suppliers would be useful.

Did you have any luck? I just acquired one of these tillers. It was missing all the belts.

My handyman who assists me around my house disassembled the parts that were frozen, located new belts, and we successfully rototilled the garden in April. Still no manuals found, but I would assume that if you found a good repair shop they would be able to help you. Remember - this piece of equipment was made in this country, not somewhere that they eat with chopsticks.. .
