Wow! What a great video series. The videos were a great help in allowing me to rebuild my 1973 T-B Horse (Old Rusty). I can't wait till spring gets here, and be able to use it in my garden. Thanks for the great info.
Correction: the second shifter that you removed is the Speed shifter. I like the way you put every bolt back where you took it out. That is a good practice. You don't end up with a bowl of bolts wondering what goes where on the machine.
No need to remove the phenolic ball on the depth adjuster bar. Pull the bolt out of the drag bar and lift the depth adjuster bar straight up and out of the bracket.
I am in desperate need of parts for my 1975 horse troybuilt. After an extensive search for both the serial number and model number, I can not locate. I need an array of trans parts, brass gear, seals, gaskets, shims, etc... any help you can provide will be a tremendous help
Brenda Jones Is it a Horse I or II model? I've got a Horse III model.. this link may be helpful, the moderator seems to have parts availability.

Great video! I have same or very similar tiller, looking for model number then the manuals. Need to tear down the transmission just like you did since it wont shift out of neutral/free wheel. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for the upload. I know it’ll be handy when the time comes. Question: When I finished tilling some today I noticed maybe a half oz. of transmission oil coming from under the reverse spring and plunger. I’ve never seen that before and since it was getting dark I put her up for the night. Hope it’s nuthin serious 🤞🏼
How do I center the wheel shaft? I also had the same corrosion on the worm gear shaft like water had entered the transmission. I think water enters through the T handle above it. I plan to place a goog glob of grease to seal or a rubber washer when I put the T handle back on.
I worked at troybilt we pushed 360 tillers a day out the door every day I worked on just about every part theyre bilt like 8n tractors just keep changing engines they will till forever tines are ooverpriced
Some of these videos are very difficult to hear because the audio is so, I am working on a Troy-Bilt teller, the tines are frozen up like maybe the worm gear is frozen up or something then I can't get those tines off, and I cannot hear what this man is saying in his video.
So you didn't show the big pin removal which is the hardest part of the operation on tillers left out in the weather due to them rusting. I have three troybilts and they all had stuck pins
I have a 1979 Troy-bilt horse tiller and the belt sometimes gets stuck but starts moving again after I need to lift the till. It seems like its sensitive to the pressure being applied or density of soil. Any recommendations as to what I can do? Also, I live in NY on Long Island and have taken my tiller in for repair to several local mechanics that work on the Troy-bilt tiller but have not been successful with repairing this issue, was curious if anyone knew of any specific mechanics that could repair this issue.
Is it an OEM belt? Are the top and bottom pulleys in alignment (properly shimmed?). Rust in the pulley grooves? Tensioner properly adjusted and proper spring?
Hi there. I am working on my HT 60 and trying to pull the 2 8" swivel bolts that hold the engine to the transmission. I cannot get them loose... is there a trick to that?
@@johngburtonbudzinski7608 Hi John. thanks for the note. Yes.. I got them out and installed my new predator engine installed. works great. but i do miss the old Kohler engine.
Thanks for the great detail in all 3 of your vids..really helpful here with my 7hp horse unknown year but needs tines, tine shaft seals and the front tranny seal..the video is 9 years old now so I suspect you have a decent battery impact by now..if not even one of the lower priced ones would save you a lot of time and effort..the best ones are really amazing now..
I didn't realize all these comments were here. I did buy a replacement battery but it's not enough to crank. So I brought a bigger battery really didn't cost very much but I haven't installed it
Hi. The two main pins/shafts he lubed and removed off screen at arox 9:45 into the video. Anyone know how tough they are to remove or any tips? I have banged on mine with a sledge without success, and don't really want to heat the cast iron. Appreciate any tips
I use a product in a spray an called Zep45. It's a fast acting penetrating oil and rust remover. You have 5/16 bolts locking the pins and you have to unscrew them or you will never move the pins. Sanding and wire brush on a drill help. I'm guessing your problem is over one way or another but maybe this helps others.
Great vid, I have the same tiller I cant seem to get the engine off the pulley has no key shaft.I am trying to replace the engine any idea how to get the engine pulley off? Thanks
I wish if they're going to make a video they would shut the radio the music off I can't even hear what he's saying as it is. I don't understand why people make videos and then they play loud music over the video, it doesn't make any sense to me but I'm a little hard of hearing. I can understand this guy. I wish you would turn his radio up and not talk or turn the radio off and talk a little louder so I can hear him. I'm working on a Troy-Bilt and this video is no help at all because I can't hear what he is saying, and I can't hear the music either. I wish they would do one or the play the radio or talk but not both at the same time. Big thumbs down on this video.
Found serial number so its a Horse model, serial number 575423. Also found manual on Troy Build web site www.troybilt.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/DisplayOwnersManualList?storeId=10001&catalogId=14102&modelNumber=horse&serialNumber= Very detailed and all parts were available in Troy Build parts lookup.

You are most welcome. I think these are great machines and like to see them keep running.
Thanks for the video series! I had to tear down my PTO Horse III to replace a broken trans pulley and missing keyway. Thanks again!
Thanks for the tip about N.NY parts!!
Thanks for taking the time to make these videos. Excellent!
I cannot hear what he is saying.

Thanks for the tip on the GL 4 and 5 oils. I am not sure which oil I used but will keep that in mind when I change it.

Mine is doing the same thing.Did you figure it out?? I am about to replace the front crank seal since it's leaking and start there.
Put Lukas hub oil and 90w gear oil in it

Hey
I have a troy built tuffy tiller that wont free wheel?
Whats wrong with it
I worked at troybilt we pushed 360 tillers a day out the door every day I worked on just about every part theyre bilt like 8n tractors just keep changing engines they will till forever tines are ooverpriced
Tines being over priced is an understatement.Got mine from Amazon.
@@andyjones9386 - Hopefully the 2 hole tines and not the 3. Clark sells the 2 thru Amazon.

You should be very proud you helped make the best equipment in the world, now America only builds junk 😊
Where did you order all of your parts. Ive been looking on Amazon, they are the cheapest but not easy to find some of the stuff.
I have an B809H Lawn Tractor, need to adjust the transmission. Need to shift from reverse to forward or vice-versa. Can anyone help?
why is my tines turning forward?
So you didn't show the big pin removal which is the hardest part of the operation on tillers left out in the weather due to them rusting. I have three troybilts and they all had stuck pins
That's where I'm at now. Any suggestion on how to get them out?
Where were you able to find the pdf. Manual online?

Hi there. I am working on my HT 60 and trying to pull the 2 8" swivel bolts that hold the engine to the transmission. I cannot get them loose... is there a trick to that?
they are drive bolts, let out the bolt that tightens and then drive em through with force downward. few seconds a side with an impact driver.

Hopefully you didn't mushroom the ends, did you use a driving pin with the sledge?

Found serial number so its a Horse model, serial number 575423. Also found manual on Troy Build web site
www.troybilt.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/DisplayOwnersManualList?storeId=10001&catalogId=14102&modelNumber=horse&serialNumber=
Very detailed and all parts were available in Troy Build parts lookup.
It's a 1974 from a serial number list I found on line.
The one you’re removeing is it not the brake
Great video,but the background music is a distraction from your narration
I agree with you, work or play ?
