Who can you trust to purchase bolo tines for an old Troybilt rototiller?

I have a Troybilt 8hp tiller I purchased new in 1991. The tines are shot (they have been replace a couple time over). MTD (who bought Troybilt through the bankruptcy court years back want a fortune for the heavy duty tines. I have look on ebay but the descriptions are vague and I am not sure if I am getting the regular or heavy duty. This isn't in the descriptions. Plus, quite a few sellers have bad reviews and I don't want to get burned. If you have purchased these from another source please let me know. If you have a url, that would be great. Thanks fellow Rally Point members.

Cpl Vic Burk - Have you contacted any of the sellers to ask for the specifics you need, AND ask if they cover the cost of return if you the purchase is not as described and what you expected? I rarely contact a seller. If there are not enough pertinent details then they lose a potential sale. However, I recently did contact a seller about an item. The person pussyfooted around my question and instead provided a vague response without responding to the specific question. That answered the "trustworthy?" concern. Felt like I had avoided being burned by that seller. Good luck with finding a source.
