- These are a couple of troy bilt tillers I am working on, one wasn't too much of a job, just had a missing rewind clutch apart and the starter spring and rope messed up, a dirty carburetor and need a fuel line, it was bought at an auction so one can expect to have some problems a lot of the time, this one is probably somewhere in the 1980's. The other one is older by probably 10 years and it has a more serious problem, the rod was thrown and the crankshaft is messed up. it is fixable but might be pretty expensive. Honestly those are good machines but I find them very taxing to use at least for me, I like the one that's on the back of my garden tractor where I can sit down and till my garden.
Watching this video helped me figure out how to recoil my tiller's pull starter after it came apart. Thanks!
you'er welcome, I'm glad it helped.
Thanks - I have a troy bilt with the Kohler engine; my rider mower has the Briggs & Stratton - so now I know how to repair both units - nice job.
Your voice reminds me of Uncle Joe from Pettiecoat junction. I enjoyed watching. Thank You.
thank you.
Thanks much for the video. The bit at the end about the mad banshee war whoop is exactly why I came here. Good to know i might be able to just lube that up and carry on. Going to give that a try now. Would be nice if i could get to that lube point without pulling the entire cover.
that's one unhandy thing about the way B&S has their starter clutch, it works great but does sometimes get rusty or gunked up and it makes a bad scream and can throw the rope out and mess up the spring,, thanks for commenting.
Good fix video, Shame about the broken connecting rod. Take care...
Them Troy bulit that model was good ones not like what you get today back then you had to order from a catalog direct from the factory
that's like a lot of stuff,, bolens were built strong and to last now they are stamped out of beer cans..
They just don't make stuff like they use too I have a Murray riding mower it's over 30 years old it's not pretty it has a 11 HP Briggs runs better than my john Deere
Mmmhmmm alright then did you check them points Carl ?
Good video What happened with the broken rod and crank issue? Just curious.
The guy that owned the tiller elected to repair the original engine, I told him one of those Harbor Freight ones would be fine, but he spent over 300.00 to rebuild the one that was on his tiller. thanks for asking,
Could you or anyone tell me exactly what year was that 8hp troy bilt tiller was made. I have that same tiller but I can't get parts for it. Because there is no serial number.
are you needing parts for the engine or the tiller it's self?
Can you tell me what the bolts are for that honda clone (predator 212cc?) - Thanks for the video.
Honestly I don't know, I would guess they are metric but not sure if made for the US market.
Thanks OT... I found it - for anyone else out there CRANKSHAFT PREDATOR 212CC = 5/16" 24 TPI (NOT metric, made for US market). 5-16/24 thread
That's a fine threading (not the standard coarse, 18 TPI).
thanks,, I was wrong on that, I' m glad they use SAE since they sell here in the USA..
where did you get the recoil part?
there's a guy not too far that has lots of old mowers and I got it from him.. they aren't too expensive that way .
Good mechanics don't work on grass..without their glasses.
lol yes I have several bolts and even a few sockets planted around here.
