This is a late 90's rear tine rototiller made by MTD. Everything had to be removed wheel, tines handle, all the shields and the engine because all of this is bolted to the gear box that has to be split to get to the shifter that is located inside. Be careful when splitting gear box so none of the gears and bushings come out of position and you don't tear the gasket. I sat mine on saw horses with plywood as it would be a back breaker to work off the floor. Probably total time was around 5 to 6 hours.
