QuestionQUESTION: I own a J.C. Penney 8hp B&S 26" chain driven tiller. It is yellow in color and the model number is 190402, type 083101, code 76021211. The tiller has 3 fwd speeds, a neutral and a reverse.
1. Who made this tiller?
2 Are there dealers who have parts for it?
3. Is there a diagram of the tiller? I found a B&S
4. Is there an adjustment for the tension on the chains.
5. What is the recommended lubricant for the chain assembly?
I have a picture of this tiller if it will help in identifying it.

QUESTION: Hi John,

Thank you for your help.

AnswerHello Again Sim:
>>This Unit May be Newer than I Originally Thought.
>>Is the ID Tag Still Located on the Unit. It should have Numbers Similar to this; 148-842-101. Those Model Numbers are Off a 1988 Model Pennys Tiller.
>>I Will Research this More on Monday and See if I can Locate Any More Information from my Contacts at the OEMs.
