in the shop right now we have a 1970's classic toro garden roto-thistiller. The tiller needs belts,2 idler pullies and a carburetor rebuild....the parts are NLA ( no longer available). This customer really wants it fixed, it was passed to him from his father. I say its not worth it....but Mr. Fix-it being the nice guy that he is tells the customer he will see what he can do.
Mr. Fix-it crosses over an idler from Ariens that is identical another idler is made for a MTD, they are virtually identical!
He also had th replace the diaphram in the carburetor...
This is definitely not going to be cost-efffective to fix, again, this proably should be a throw away....
I believe sentimental value will outweigh monetary value.
