I got this rototiller last year in trade for a 1963 Ariens 2 stage snow blower.  It ran great but the paint was sun faded.  I just got down painting it after tilling the garden for spring planting.  Here are some before and after pictures of it.

Thanks for the kind words guys.  The re-paint on the tiller was pretty straight forward since there was no rust only badly faded paint and some dirt/grease and grime .  This tiller isn't very old, it is a 2005 but was kept in a sun porch facing south so other than the faded paint it was in great shape.  Yes new they are pricy at around 2600 dollars, that is why i jumped at the deal.

I was looking for a tiller on CL and found an add that wanted to trade this frc800 for a two stage snow blower.  Since i had picked up the old Ariens to clean up and sell anyway it was a no brainer.
