I'd suggest you do some googleing and see what you can find in terms of service and parts. I think some of the older versions had diesel engines. I couldn't afford one and went with the less expensive belt driven Troy Bilts. Would an inexpensive chinese (honda knockoff) 8hp bolt right on?īCS has a reputation for being a sturdy gear driven machine with alot of optional attachments. It has three forward speeds and one speed reverse. It uses one of those oil bath air filters. I don't have any information from the previous owner other than it's been in the family a long time, sat in a barn in VT, and the engine is siezed up. The tires have a few very small cracks (where the wheels sat for a long time without much air) but nothing that would concern me. If you know the vintage of the unit that would be of interest to me. Any thoughts/comments/concerns are welcome. I don't really need the snowblower part that came with it. I checked the reviews on this web page and the new models seem to have satisfied owners. There is what smells like diesel fuel on the top of the cylinder when you pull the sparkplug. I don't really need another project this winter but could anyone tell me if this BCS tiller is worth putting some time into? Right now all I know is that the cylinder in the italian (Acme) 8hp engine does not seem to move at all.
