Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): Turf T11 tiller model 5056-73, front tine tiller, frame code


Question
I am looking for a website where I can order a parts manual for the above front tine tiller. It needs the cable that engages the tines. It was given to me by my father I don't know how old it is, but the date code on it is 7-120 2x166320. Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated

Answer
Hello Arthur:

>>This is an Old MTD Model Number. **Example of Complete Information: Frame Model 5052 34 4742 S/N 3011C1 767  Engine B&S Model: 130292, 1671-02, 82122310**
If this Unit has the Original Engine, then the Engine Code is Easier to use to Determine DOM than the Frame Code.
>>The Following is an Example of Interpreting B&S Engine Date Code 6206282:
>The First Two Digits (62) Denote the Year of Manufacture. In this Case it is 1999.
>>The next Two Digits (06) are the Month of the Year, which is June.
>>The Following Two Digits (28) are the Day of the Month. In this Case the 28th.
>>The Final One or Two Digits Designate the Plant and Assembly Line.
>>You can Use the Site Addys at this Site Addy; http://www.yetmans.mb.ca/antiques.html to Search and Locate New/Used Parts or for Manuals for this Unit.
>>If you Hit a Snag or this Does Not Correct the Problem,  I am Here if You Require More Assistance. Hope this Helps. Let me Know What Happens, Please. May the All Mighty Bless You and Yours. Be Safe and Happy. Thanks.

Good Luck
