That's too funny i saw that ad on craigslist! Looks like a classic vintage piece.
edit: on second look, i just noticed there is a tiller i saw that is similar but not identical to that one, i was wrong.

Those your backwards from what you would think. If you want it to go deeper you push DOWN on the handle some. To go shallower, you lift up a little. To many people lift on the handles to force the tines down and that is when they start beating you up. Tilled a lot of garden in years gone by with one of them.

Did you fill his sippy cup with fresh milk before he left.

My buddies decided that I needed absinthe in my sippy cup. They even bought a sippy cup for it to go in. Apparently they must think I cannot hold my likker!
