1st Tiller - Troy-Bilt 'Horse'?
Comments (30)I just checked the manual. I guess I should get my own act together because I haven't done most of the suggested lubes. I have certainly greased the belt Block adjuster and the two heavy vertical rods that the whole engine assembly slides up and down on for belt tension. I don't see any specific grease indicated. You may need to remove the rods if they are really messed up. Make sure you mark/determine the proper height. But then one is supposed to oil every moving bar connection and shaft. If you suspect that transmission oil has leaked out, you will need to fill it with either 90 or 140wt transmission oil via the hole under the T handle....See Moretroy-bilt (garden way) th-1019
Comments (1)e-bay has quite a few (old) used TroyBilt tillers with pixs all the time. You will know how yours compares to the ones they list, and can get a real good estimate what yours is worth. Regards, Ford...See MoreTroy-bilt Pony tiller, stuck with gears engaged
Comments (2)I finally got things undone. Had to pry off the belts. Put on new ones & guess what--as soon as I put the tiller in forward, the new belts jumped off the pulley. On close inspection, the pully is out of allingment with where it should be & needs to be shimmed. I took it to the dealer. They ground down the pulley and shimmed it and now all is supposed to be well, although I haven't tried it yet. It took them all of ten minutes to fix. & cost me $50. Where oh were did my little horse go? All I would have had to do is get a $ worthe of shims, and I could fix the problems myself. Funny thing is I called Troy Bilt (MTD). They said they found me in their computer and that my lifetime warranty was changed by them to a ten year warranty. I had two years left in the ten. However, when I took the tiller in to be fixed, I was told it has NO warranty and whoever told me it did (which was more than one person) was wrong. they said they called troy-bilt to confirm that there was no warranty. Troy bilt that they spoke to said that is right. Funny the stories you get. I'm a bit peeved at TB (MTD). To be told my lifetime warranty from the original troy-bilt was no good, but they put a ten year warranty on those tillers, then I try to get my tiller fixed, under the warranty, and am told I have no warranty. I hope I'll never have to do business with this company again....See MoreOld Troy Bilt Tiller
Comments (13)I inherited an older Troy Bilt Tiller from my grandfather. It has a Kohler motor with these numbers on it: Model No. K161T Spec. No. 281181j Serial No. 7383024 Can someone help me identify it and tell me what it's worth? I have no idea if it runs...he always took good care of his stuff. I tilted it forward and some fluid spilled out but I have never tried to start it. Please help. I can't find a model #....See Moreboltonranger
