Home-Built Sidewalk Edger Made From Old Tiller FARM HOME Miscellaneous 25-6-34 Here's a photo of a sidewalk edger I made from an old tiller. The tiller was ruggedly built and had a good engine.
I removed the left side of the shaft that drove the tines and took all the tines off the other end of the shaft except four. I turned these around on the shaft. This way, they can cut right up to the edge of the walk, using that edge for a guide. The tines rub against the walk, but will not catch on it.
To keep it at the right cutting depth, I added a gauge wheel from the deck height adjustment on an old riding lawn mower. The tiller had variable V-belt pulleys on it for forward and reverse. I changed it to go forward only and put on a different V-belt and made a belt tightener out of the old pulley. I attached a short length of cable to the old forward/reverse lever so I can use it to tighten the belt. (Milton Nesiba, 910 Padua Ave., Ravenna, Neb. 68869)
