I love it when I pick up on another man's trash, and turn it into a treasure. There's just something quite satisfying about bringing a dead, neglected piece of equipment back to life!!
Mine has two belts on it and it works fine. I just use the range selector when forward and reverse is in neutral. I guess I am confused about the two belt comment. Thank you for sharing all of your knowledge!
Each pulley has two different sizes of sheaves that the belts ride in. So one belt is trying to move the second pulley fast and the other belt is trying to move it slow. Since the pulley can not move fast and slow at the same time it will be locked up. You must have a horse 1 which both pulleys were the same size.
@@KevinKalden I do have a Horse 1. 1977 model. Both pulleys are the same size. At the time I made this comment, I did not know where the break was for the two pulley setup vs. the 1 pulley. Thank you for the information!
Thank you, good and educational before I get my 1st one like this. Did you see all the dirt coming off the engine when started. I would use compressed air and a blow gun to clean out, and every other nook and cranny that would collect dirt. A great $10 investment.
I did use compressed air to blow it out after the video. Unfortunately a few months later I got stupid and used an impact to turn it over and broke the stud on the crank. Damn thing is I knew better and was just not thinking. oh well now I can do a video on drilling a hole in the crankshaft. I hope you join my channel. Then again maybe you shouldn't. lol
My reverse isn't right either. Thanks for letting me look over your shoulder to see how to fix it. My Horse is exactly like your. what year model did you say that you thought it was?
I have a horse almost like this one. But with metal fuel tank and no bumper guard. Can you please tell me the name of the 2 rods that allow the motor to move up and down to engage the belt from the motor to the pulley on the transmission.
I have one it had a 7hp Kohler on it and got a new motor last week and took the old one off then noticed the front trans shaft had some play in it so I removed the pully and the seal cover and pulled the shaft out and the rear bearing fell apart then checked the rest of it and the tine shaft had some play in it also so I ordered all new bearings and seals and going for the tines next, there seems to be different horses out there, mine has the long shaft with the welded worm gears at both ends and it has 2 belts and the tine shaft was not to fun getting off as mine is the kind with the bolt in the middle with a key and had to modify a puller to get them off now I hope these Allen bolts don't give me any problems as that's where I stopped at today and going to dump some diesel in it to clean it out so I can hunt down those 14 roller bearings that went everywhere when I pulled that shaft out. But other than that it's in good condition and built like a mini tractor
Sir I am learning so much since I subscribed to your channel, I have a second model and trying to figure out why the reverse is not going all the way in.
If it’s like mine reverse is when the upper pulley rides on the lower pulley. Check to make sure they are contacting each other. I have a video on the subject.
How did you use a drill motor to start the engine I thought that was pretty neat. I bought a Troy built horse about a 2000 model but I can't get it in the any years and I can't get it into Is forward and reverseWhat do you suggest
By the way...new tines are coming today, I think. That should be interesting to change. Old ones are worn to pointed metal. No square end left, leaves a BIG gap under transmission because tines are so wide apart from wear. I Really would like to know how many hours of work my unit has on it to be this wore.
Replacing the tines is normal for this machine. It is a great machine that is a real work horse and the tines wear out after a few years of continuous use.
Aimless I have a older model about like this with a 8 hp briggs it was working great and I oiled it up real good and know it wont stay in gear i have to hold down on handle to get it to stay going. I tried moving the dog that the wheel locks against had no effect wont stay in gear what do i need to do ? please help
I don’t really fix other people things just make videos. I will help you try to figure it out though. Give me a holler if needed. Thanks for watching the video and I hope you subscribe to my channel
I have several guards since I don't like them. What is it worth? Where are you? Thank you for watching the video and I hope you subscribe to my channel and click the like button.
Just what ever size of socket that fits the nut. 3/4? 7/8? A couple of times it wanted to stay with it but did not go flying. I hope you subscribe to my channel.
THANK YOU FOR THE VID.! I HAVE FOUND THAT THE OIL LEVEL ON FLAT GROUND IS NOT SUFFICIENT FOR THE ANGLE THAT THESE TILLER ENGINES OPPERATE AT. THIS SAID...LOOK AT THE ANGLE THAT IT'S RUNNING AT....TIP IT IN THE OTHER WAY/FORWARD AND FILL IT TO (FULL)....I KNOW .... WE HAVE BEEN TOLD (DONT OVER FILL YOUR CAR WITH TOO MUCH OIL!!)... WEEEEEEELL..... CARS AND ANY PRESSURE LUBED SYSTEM, THIS IS TRUE! BUT SPLASH LUBE IS DIFFERENT! AGAIN (!) THESE ARE SPLASH LUBE! IF YOU LOOK YOU WILL FIND THAT AT 20 + ANGLE THE ENGINE IS DRY SUMP! BEEN DOING OVER FILL FOR 27 YEARS AND AND MY ENGINE FINALLY CRASHED....CYLINDER WORN OUT.....CRANK IS EXELLENT. ROD IS EXELLENT. WONDER IF I CAN SLEEVE IT?

Same here. I tell people that I am a bottom feeder. Even my house was made from secondhand material. Not junk but architectural salvage.
LOL I loved the dust and trash that blew out of the blower housing when you started it. That was great. Good Job.

I worked at troybilt these tillers are built like we Ford 8n you just keep putting new motors on thrm

Got it all fixed up it was due to the belts

he just spun the crank pulley with it.
I'm from Indiana do you have some work that needs done? Imma work horse and more then fair.

Sweat some Bohrium on the blades. They won’t wear out in your lifetime. I’ve got it on my old 1979. 5/12/2024. Was running it yesterday.

Look at some of my other tiller videos. There is one that covers this.
I see your in texas , and I just bought a horse tiller if I can't get it going I may need to bring it to you. I'll let you know. I payed 20 for mine.
I don’t really fix other people things just make videos. I will help you try to figure it out though. Give me a holler if needed. Thanks for watching the video and I hope you subscribe to my channel
Yep and he knows how to fix it
Do you happen to have an extra engine guard bumper for for a 7hp TB horse TH-1002?
I have several guards since I don't like them. What is it worth? Where are you? Thank you for watching the video and I hope you subscribe to my channel and click the like button.
what did you use on your drill motor to start your tiller?
Just what ever size of socket that fits the nut. 3/4? 7/8? A couple of times it wanted to stay with it but did not go flying. I hope you subscribe to my channel.
Anyway you could help me figure out what is wrong with mine
What is it doing?
I saw a mouse shoot out of there!
I don’t doubt it. Thanks for watching the video and I hope you subscribe to my channel and give it a thumbs up.
They cain’t keep up to us old southern boys when it comes to makin do ! Jesus said “My people perish for lack of knowledge “.

I HAVE FOUND THAT THE OIL LEVEL ON FLAT GROUND IS NOT SUFFICIENT FOR THE ANGLE THAT THESE TILLER ENGINES OPPERATE AT. THIS SAID...LOOK AT THE ANGLE THAT IT'S RUNNING AT....TIP IT IN THE OTHER WAY/FORWARD AND FILL IT TO (FULL)....I KNOW ....
WE HAVE BEEN TOLD (DONT OVER FILL YOUR CAR WITH TOO MUCH OIL!!)...
WEEEEEEELL.....
CARS AND ANY PRESSURE LUBED SYSTEM, THIS IS TRUE!
BUT SPLASH LUBE IS DIFFERENT!
AGAIN (!) THESE ARE SPLASH
LUBE! IF YOU LOOK YOU WILL FIND THAT AT 20 + ANGLE THE ENGINE IS DRY SUMP! BEEN DOING OVER FILL FOR 27 YEARS AND AND MY ENGINE FINALLY CRASHED....CYLINDER WORN OUT.....CRANK IS EXELLENT.
ROD IS EXELLENT. WONDER IF I CAN SLEEVE IT?
Interesting thought. Please consider joining my channel.
impact and socket ?
Cover needs to come of and clean nest out or it will over heat
Good observation. I was impressed it fired up.
Nice job Kevin don't let china have anymore American steel. We fix shit not scrap it. (LETS GO BRANDON)
