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
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?
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.
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 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
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.
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 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.
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
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
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.
