Troy Bilt Rototiller Brought Back to Life 

WOW!!!!!!! you did such a great job with this. Whoever gets the reap the benefits of a working machine like this is luuuuuuuuuucky 👏🏼👍🏼

I love buying them old things and making them work again making pretty good money on that catching them cheap and fixing them it's a nice side to Gig if a guy can do it

Hi- I have an old horse tiller that is not quite this old, I still use it. I am sorry Troy Bilt went under. My brother and I drove up to the factory to pick it up, as I live in central NY and it is not that far from Troy. Those old ones are great machines, much better built than the newer ones. They used to put out the Troy Bilt Owners News that always had hints for better gardening. Nice to see you get this one going!

I have the same 7 HP model, purchased from the late 70's without the front cage protection. Shipment from Troy Bilt was kinda expensive from New York to California. Anyways was a huge mistake loaning to neighbors. They ran the motor into the ground, broke the pull rope, busted the carb into a fence post then threw it in the trash. I had the lifetime warranty for a complete rebuild for 1/3 of the going price. Warranty was denied since Troy Bilt went into bankruptcy purchased by MTD Consumer Group Inc. Troy Bilt good company always had support, MTD not so much. In any case it sat in the yard for 25 years was going to the dump site until I saw your video. Itching to have it running again, have the very detailed owners/parts manual somewhere. No idea if I can get parts but couldn't get it from MTD.

Great channel man!!!. On your other video, you helped me replace the alternator on my 1988 f250. You deserve more popularity

They still make troybilt tiller horses mtd owns them now I think they bought them back in 2001 still made in Ohio I look on line around 3200 dollars now I love these tillers I done tons of these caddillac of tillers.❤

The Kohler carb is so much easier to remove from a troyBilt tiller than a tecumseh carb is

I do a lot of these I usually just put a new predator engine ohv engine on them direct bolt up makes a nice tiller the engines run around 100 to 140 harbor freight.

Totally enjoyed your well made video and tear down. Congrats! Have you been tempted to restore the paint job? Although I love the original look myself.

I just bought a tiller just like this for $100

I think that I am also going to upload vehicle fixing videos to my channel as they are really fun to watch and helpful. I do a lot of fixing on my 88 f 250 and my craftsman ys4500 so that might be interesting

If is a good thing you got it going again

Very helpful i'm trying to find a air cleaner framework for mine

They don’t make them like this anymore. These were built to last. Talk about getting your money’s worth buying one of these back in the day!

I lone mine out to kind folks and he sold place New owners said I’m fu c

Wasting yor time on that tecumseh buy a predator engine saves a lot of time

Yes, WD40 🤌
