You Have a Horizontal Shaft(H)Medium frame(M)Extra life (XL) 7hp Tecumseh engine,probably made around 1986....

What parts are you looking for ???? Any Cub Cadet dealer should be able to help you out !I believe MTD owns the Troy-Bilt name now ,along with Many others ! Jim

My Troy-bilt Horse is an older model which has a similar Tiller serial number  378818. There are additional numbers cast into the various parts of the transmission and the frame, including the one on the left side of the transmission which appears to include a date:
TH 1001-1
IF 1
1/24/79
Although the above number may indicate a 1979 date, the family that previously owned the tiller indicated that the tiller was a 1999 model.
Does any one know how we might identify the model and/or year of these tillers?
We received with the tiller a 20 page "OWNERÂS MANUAL SUPPLEMENT, FOUR-SPEED HORSE MODEL, TROY-BILT, ROTO TILLER". The supplement simply addresses how to change the tiller from low range to high rang or visa versa. Inside the cover of this supplement is the statement  "This supplement for your four-speed model simply updates the 176 page OwnerÂs Manual that you received with this tiller".
Is there a source where the 176 page OwnerÂs Manual could be purchased?
So far the tiller runs great, and the Kohler engine has model and serial numbers so it shouldnÂt be a problem.
Thanks for any help.

Thanks to Jim where ever Jim is, for the info. on my Troy Built engine. For any of you Troy Built owners who own older models and want to find out the exact model and year and maybe order an owner's and parts number - I received very good technical assistance today from the owner of Troy Built - MTD. According to MTD, Troy went bankrupt in 2001 and MTD bought them out and owns all manufacturing rights and obviously still produce the units. Parts and technical assistance is available at either the Troy or MTD website but I called 866-840-6483 and punched in a few options and then spoke to someone who referred me to techncial support. All manuals and parts lists are available on their website to down load but it takes for ever to print a manual - mine was 80 pages long.

I have my Grandfathers Older Troy Built Tiller. The Info. I could get off of it is; Precision MFD. by Clinton Engines Corp.--Clinton 4 cycle engine--Garden Way H32-470--Troy Built Roto Tiller,Garden Way Manu.Co.,Inc. Troy,New York 121823 H.

Where would I find a Owners Manual or Info. for this Great Tiller!!!??? I know it's over Forty years old but it needs a little TLC.

Thank You

I have a older troy built tiller serial # 459939 with what looks like a date casted on transmition of 3/5/80. Looking for manual #, Operational & owners manual.

My old Troy Bilt horse has no casting date that I can find. The information on the left side of the transmission shows "TH 1001, then below that is a plate held on with screws that says "219 A". How can I find out the model number also?

Thanks,

Steve

I have an old TB Horse Tiller, Serial Number 789340. I bought it new. Can you tell me what model it is and what I can use as a replacement engine? The old Kohler worked great for many years, but finally lost enough compression that it won't run.

Old_Tillerman The engine of day to replace yours is at Harbour Freight its Honda knockoff made in china so price is big saving if down load from HF site coupon the new engine be 129.00 compared to other at price over 300.00. These engine only avail at HF. Its 6 1/2 horsepower with overhead valves this give big increase in Torque over flat head engine. New engine is just out called Predator. You may get luck find Greyhound engine 6 1/2 that was just drop by HF but long shot as pollute laws change so Predator on market now. I have used these engine seance 2008 with out any problem there 5 bolts you need to buy because metric mounting threads manual that comes with new engine will have thread size length bolts same.

I am trying to find a part for my troy bilt I just bought but with my serial no. 874801. I bought a new one in 1993 from gardenway and this one looks the same but doesn't resemble the horse model I bought back then. This one has a briggs & stratton 7hp. I believe it is the horse PTO but again the troybilt number on belt 2245 doesn't cross and it leaks where the PTO connects and no gasket or O ring there don't know if there should be?? Any Help would be great. Thanks I haven't had luck getting thru to MTD to find out what model or year this is.

If you are giving the correct serial number.

Your tiller was built between Feb 1st and March 1st 1974.

Troybilt first placed electric starters on some models in 1969.

I have a Troy Built Horse 1 with a serial number of 149209 it has electric start I am also looking for the model number and year built

Check serial number again. And tell horsepower engine help to no was PTO model. yahoo troybilt site good place for you find parts and info.

4/75 thats April 1975

The first model number was 1 that in 1/82

If got have model number to look up parts use model number 1

If that don't use model number I that's romain number.

Here different model numbers using capital I, II, III, IIII used from 4/62 until 12/92

I have an 8hp PTO Horse with pull starter. I am trying to identify the model and year also. I can't find any numbers on the frame but not really sure where to look. Any one have any ideas? Thanks.

On transmission case right top level top tire there flat place stick out beyond top cover. number metal stamp in top case they be full dust rust so need wire brush flat spot blow clean solvent and blow out work.

I picked up an old horse tiller and would like to know what year etc.? It has what looks like a snow blower motor on it, "6 horse I think?" There is a number on the right top of gear box, S/N 269920. Motor has some issues and I probably will replace. Two belts, two speed tranny, etc. Any guess as to what model, year, etc. Would like to get owners and parts manuals. Thanks...

April 1977 I like 2 belt horse. You can get HF engine Predator 6 1/2 cheaper fix that old engine, if do add extra 4 oz oil so want shutdown while tilling. Join Yahoo troybilt group for manuals you need there files they tell all. Use model number one "1" where need model yours just called TroyBilt Horse. A few months into 1978 they model "I" that capital eye that four speed.

I purchased an older Troy-Bilt rear tine tiller last year. There are no labels or other markings indicating what the model is, but on the transmission case there is a manufacture date cast on the side "11/15/1976" and the stamped serial number on the machined surface is "251781". I'm looking to acquire a service manual to maintain the tiller. At present the seals on the drive axle are leaking and need replaced before I can use it again. I'm at a loss with not knowing what model I have and on getting the correct parts to do the service work.

I bought an older troy bilt tiller 8hp briggs with a serial #520422, can't locate a model #. It has place for 2 belts but only has 1 on.Any help on yr, other info?

The number on the tranny is what you are after. The 2 belt slots are for different speeds. Most folks put it on low and slow. Do you have the pto model? It has a couple of release bolts that hold the tiller on. There are some options, log splitter etc, but I never see them used.

I recently inherited a Troy-bilt PTO Tiller with 8 HP Mangum Engine with Electric start. S/N is 00948009. Trying to determine model and year manufactured.

I have an older troy-built tiller with a magnum 8 electric start engine. The only number i can find is on the transmission housing 750741. i am trying to find out what year and model so I can order parts.
