I have a old garden tiller that not had much use. When it is stored, the horizonal shaft motor is angled with the cylinder angling down. This causes oil to get in the cylinder. I was wondering if I could turn the motor 180 degrees where the cylinder will be sloping up. If you notice, lots of the plain push mower motors that the cylinder is facing the front of the mower. In past times it faced the rear causing the same problem when you pushed the handle down for high grass
