B1-7
I got two machines from a guy that said he was tired of looking at them One was kind of complete the other in a basket. The axle seals were leaking as fast as you could fill it up the recoil was broken, it would not start the control rods were on wrong and all bent. It has been quite challenge but worth it now that it will run and maybe till my garden next year.

B1-6 S/N 25106
My grandfather, Louis Zgonc had purchased a B-1-6 Rototiller - Serial No.25106 -circa 1947 - when it was brand new. This machine was used to cultivate very large garden areas on his property in Willoughby Hills, Ohio. I was always fascinated by this machine, when I was a young child in the early 1950's.
I am now the current owner of the B-1-6 Rototiller, and it was in excellent operating condition when it was eventually "retired" in 1987 and put into "permanent" storage in my heated garage. ( I purchased a new BCS 850 machine). I still have a lot of great old memories of my grandfather using the B-1-6 Rototiller, as well as by other family members.

B1-7R
B1-7 S/N 62730
I have had my B1-7 S/N 62730 for the last 32 years. With parts and manuals supplied by the Frazer Farm Equipment Company of Auburn Indiana, I have had many years of use from the machine. Although for the last 3 years I have not used it, prior to that it was running great. It remains in good condition and I am confident that with just a bit of tender loving care it would eagerly spring to life and be ready for this years garden preparation.

B1-7
Frazer Rototiller, S/N 69606. - (Running)
It has a 26 inch tilling width. I purchased this machine from the
original owner near Boston Mass, three years ago. I used it the
first year I had it, and the next two years it refused to start.
Finally I replaced the mag (Edison Splitdorf) with a Fairbanks
Morris, which I had rebuilt. And It now runs. My winter project
this coming winter will be to tear the transmission apart and
rebuild it, if finances allow, I will also install a reversing
unit. It nice to be able to back out of where you can get into.
this is the second Rototiller I have owned. The unit I had before
needed two hundred dollars in parts every year. After I had rebuilt
every group assembly, including the starter, It started to break
all over again, and I had enough, and sold it. But fifteen years
later, there still wasn't anything on the market to compare to the
old Rototiller.

I obtained this machine from my father-in-law, who recently passed
away. Small engines and farm equipment were one of his passions. I
recently moved to Maine, and have 26 acres. I hope that the tiller
will be able to help around the farm.

B1-7RS
Rototiller, - (Running)
My brother, Robin Hartrick, has our family B1-7RS Rototiller- from
our father, Gordon Hartrick. Daddy bought a new machine in 1942;
sent it in to be rebuilt in early 50's and then decided to take the
offer to exchange it for a rebuilt one. I rebuilt it in 1968 and it
continues in full use to this day. Its next big project may be to
loosen the soil to lower my basement floor by 18"- it works well in
clay, unlike shovels.

B-1-6
Rototiller, SN#29449, hasn't run in awhile.
B-1-6 Rototiller, SN#24679, paid $30, needs minor work.
#2449 was one of 2 my Father kept running for his Father who
farmed a large vegetable garden. One was sold to a local landscape
company and I have this one. #26479 was sitting out in a yard in
East Hampton, Ct. I stopped and bought it for $30. I believe the 2
my Father and Grandfather owned were about $500 each and bought
from Meyers' Garage a few towns away.

My father-in-law,Virgil Harmon, purchased this machine used in
about 1953 to rototill peoples gardens and prepare seed beds for
new lawns before sod was popular.It starts easy and runs strong. He
had all the manuals and paper work with it. He had done some
repairs over the years to keep it running. I got the machine when
he passed away.I use it every year on my garden and some of the
neighbors.It still had the original tires on it until I replaced
them about 4 years ago.

I purchased a B-1-6 or B-1-7 in Oregon in 1981 and brought it with
me when we moved to Idaho that year. The unit tilled my garden and
yard for many years even though all of the features did not
function. It now has a flat tire that I would like to replace and
is in need of dirve repair on the left side. It may only be a
sheared key.

B1-6 that has been in the family for at least my lifetime. Runs
