My father in law has a rear tine troybilt tiller from 1986 that needs a gas tank. Anybody know if any small engine boneyards in the southeast that he could find one? A new tank is about $550

Which engine does it have? Also what are the dimensions? Text me a picture and I will keep an eye out for one. At that price a new engine might be less expensive.

Should be a Briggs Square tank either 3.5 or 5 hp dependent of model. My own Pony series has carb issues I am rebuilding that now.

I see a lot of "BRIGGS" tanks on the internet for $100.
If it was ME, i would buy something like this and build a bracket to adapt !!

It's the 8hp Kohler. He said he's thinking about going the cheaper tank and bracket route but thought we'd look a little deeper first
