In process of full restoration of this non running Merry Tiller with chain drive and 5hp Briggs and Stratton engine. Was given to me looks like it needs a coil and points oil change. It's either 1908 or 1976? Not sure also was wondering what it is worth? Thanks in advance.
According to this forum, Merry has only been around since the 1940s, so hours cant be older than that. They can answer all your questions. www.mytractorforum.com/

"In about 1966 new, stronger handles were fitted, now attached to the chaincase by a single bolt, through welded on brackets. Serial numbers had restarted with an M prefix for Majors, P for Professionals and a T prefix for Titans. The Titan looked similar to the Major but shared few components, having a different, all roller bearing chaincase with three sets of chains, a stronger hitch casting, different chassis, larger 5HP engine and two sets of belt pulleys for changing speeds. The Professional continued with a new, stronger hitch casting and the same handles as the swiveling type fitted to Titans and optional on Majors. In about 1968 the engine on the Major changed to the Briggs & Stratton type 80200.
