From the EBay photos it looks like the tiller seat has been enclosed on the Gloucester tiller. The last time I saw it in person at the Middle st. fire in Dec. 2007 it wasn't. I don't see anything else noticeable, so maybe some mechanical work.



It's definitely still a lot of money to spend considering the age of this truck and it's imminent replacement.



I've always been curious about why a new tiller with such an old tractor too. I've seen lots of re-tractored tillers, but this is the only one I can think of that's opposite.

It wasn't enclosed in late August, 2009. The guys said that the trailer was horrible and that it never should have been done. It was at that point they told me to climb up there and see how horrible the visibility was. I snapped this photo at that time.
