[AT] OT- Troy-Bilt Horse

[Mitchell Daly]

Leet me add a word here about the HF engine. They are easy to bolt in to replace older B&S engines as well. I replaced a B&S 5 hp engine on my TracVac about 4 years ago and I can't say enough about it. The only change that I had to make was have the exhaust manifold altered slightly to use the old muffler. Can't beat it for the price.

Just for information. The Troy-Bilt Horse will easily accept the Harbor freight 6.6 hp $99 engine. It is a direct replacement.The only change is the 5/16" bolt that goes in the end of the crank needs to be exchanged for metric.
I have done two. One pull starting and more than enough power.

Mike,

Not sure if I have the one you need. I’m going to be parting out an older unit that no longer is worth fixing. I purchased a new carb a few years back for it before it went south. I’ll take a look tomorrow and let you know. I think I kept the original receipt, so I should be able to give you the part number as a double check.

Hi all,
I have a question about Troy Built tillers; I have a '70's-80's Troy
Bilt Horse tiller, well before they became MTD. I was moving it in high
gear, over some hard clay to a place I wanted to till. Well, it hit the
ground and took off like a bucking bronco. I started to go after it but
having had my share of injuries this year I just let it go . It bounced
and jumped all over the place, until it hit a tree, and cracked the
carburetor flange. The engine is a HH60 Tecumseh, and all I need to
repair it is a new carb. The problem is I cannot find one with the
plate, and tall screw that is riveted on to accept the vertical air
cleaner. Any  help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Mike M
