I took a pic of my tiller just to show how old it is. My ole man bought this in 1980-1981. It is a Craftsman from Sears. It will start on the first pull everytime. I do not know how much it cost back then, but it looks like we got our $'s worth.
Just a funny note about the cat. She will sit there for hours watching the Red Devil swim and he cant stand it. He will scoop up the rocks with his mouth and spit them on the glass right in the cats face. Angle seems to love this. Kinda like she intimidates him. I will try to get this on video one day. My fish hates my cat. Angle seems to be oka with just watching him swim. I've told him when I do water changes not to jump out because that would be bad news for him. LOL
