Sparky-(Admin) 23,138 #4 Posted January 24, 2010 I think the tiller needs a lift assist spring which might take up some of the weight. Mike....... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Horse Rancher 0 #7 Posted January 26, 2010 Hardware stores carry aluminum crimp sleeves for various size cables we usually peen them with a flat steel plate and a hammer hope this helps :banghead: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
