Bump. I'm hoping to identify this tiller, its available locally but I don't want to buy something I have no idea if parts will be available for. Looks like its built OK but I can't seem to figure out the brand.

Probably says something that no one has jumped in with a suggestion. Sorry to say I don't have any idea either. It looks like a light duty tiller for occasional gardening use, and it would probably work well in good soil conditions. If you have heavy clay soil, rocks, etc., you would probably want a heavier unit.

Lack of a slip clutch is a drawback if you have rocks, roots etc, where you will be using it. Stock up on shear bolts!

That tiller looks like it can be offset left or right to a certain extent. (Nice feature) Maybe missing an "indexing pin" that could lock the current location in place (looks like a slot or opening in the rear square tubing framework for that purpose?).

I'd guess there would be some type of identification/model #'s on the gearbox that could be used to locate parts for it? Other than the framework....most other parts would be pretty generic. ie: bearings, chain, driveshaft, etc.

I have an older chain/gear drive tiller that was badly worn. New weld on hub and gear sprocket along with a new chain and it's back to almost new again.

There's also an outfit that sells every kind of tiller blades for all makes, models, applications.

Add a slip clutch to it, like @Grandad4 mentions, and you shouldn't have much issue with it.

If you can get it for a reasonable price......I wouldn't be scared of it!!

The offset feature is what interested me in it. But unfortunately, the price is too high for what it is. I'd really have to steal it if every time I wanted to replace something on it I had to put in hours of measuring and searching to find a generic part that might work. The search for a deal on a tiller continues I guess.
