Sick of wasting money on overpriced new stuff, so I took a chance and paid $200 at auction, for a rusty, non starting, 1980 Troy-bilt Pony garden tiller with electric start.<br /><br />The tines look looked great but everything else looked pretty grimy. It belonged to a farmer and appeared to have sat for a long time.<br /><br />Fresh oil and gas, with a quick jump start (wasted battery as expected) the tiller started and ran perfectly. 
<br /><br />"New" Ponies start at about a grand without the electric start.<br /><br />I'll put a little extra in the church collection plate this Sunday.
