O wow i need that same parts book was it hard to find i look all over the net nothing on the pto ones i need to fix the same thing you did in this video
Where I am a novice mechanic with a little background, I wished you explained the step-by-step procedures for installing all of the new parts. I am sure it would have been boring to the pros, but I need that training. Thank you.
Thanks really enjoyed it, I really would like to know where to get a catalog. I have a troy built horse tiller 8 hp maginum I bought, not real sure, in 1978 new. I don't know how I can find out what year it is but I would need to know so I can order the right parts for it. Can you help. Thanks
Great job on the video. I have the same tiller I bought in 1992. The Magnum Kohler is a great engine but certain parts are no longer available for them. My coil went bad causing the rope to kick back when starting. Before I could determine it was the coil it ruined the recoil starter which is not available for the M8T. I fixed it, replaced it with a new Honda GX270 8.5HP engine. Wonderful upgrade, good for another 29 years now!
@Peter Ohmart - Originally I did do a step-by-step video, but it was 2.5 hours long. Needless to say, I decided to shorten it. But I am trying to come up with ways to keep the videos short, but still get in all the vital information. So it's a work in progress
@Ray Lassiter - I was able to find the serial number on the tiller. With that, I contacted Troy Bilt and they were able to give me the year and model number. Once I had that info, I Googled a parts manual. It took some hunting, but was able to find it after a short time. What I liked about their manual is that they listed the parts and part numbers. For the most part, the part numbers had not changed. There were some new part numbers for a few parts, so I had to search for it by the name of the part instead.
@Steve Warner - One of my biggest fears is when something goes out on the motor that I won't be able to repair and I will end up having to do a motor swap.
We are so sorry for the lack of response. We were on a long hiatus from UA-cam and are just getting back. I went directly to Troy Bilt to get all the replacement parts. It took me some time, but finding a manual on Google helped A LOT. And thank you for the compliment.
Excellent machines, before MTD bought them and ruined them!! Check those rims that they aren’t seized on the axle. I had one that was so bad I had to cut the rim off the axle to fix tire. Nice video!
I was very worried about the rims seizing. After working a few hours to get one rim off, I just left the other one alone and hoped that I will never have to deal with it again. Fingers crossed!
I read where one guy knocked the roll pins out which attach the wheels to the axel and sprayed it with some PB Blaster. Then he just tilled some soil and the wheels broke loose by themselves. I haven't tried it yet, but it sounded good!
You are right on that one. Troy Bilt sent me the wrong PTO seal which caused a leak. I ended up contacting them and getting the right seal, so it's now leak free.
The original part number is 9617, but has been replaced with 921-04030 according to the Troy-Bilt website. www.troybilt.com/en_US/miscellaneous-classification/oil-seal-.750id-x-1.783od/921-04030.html#q=9617&lang=en_US&start=0
Just picked up one made in 1985. This was a great video and your presentation is perfect. Thank you very much, as I got a lot from it.
Excelente trabajo.saludos desde Costa Rica.

You should sandblast and repaint it! Don’t skip out when you’re that deep already!
That just leaves another project for this summer!
Were did you find part’s
I found the parts directly from the Troy-Bilt website: www.troybilt.com/en_US/garden-tiller-parts
DID YOU HAVE TO ADJUST THE END PLAY WHEN INSTALLING THE DRIVE SHAFT?
You do, but I've found that the tolerances are so loose that it doesn't have to be perfect.
do the tines counter rotate?
No
From whom did yo buy the parts? Great job on the video
partstree.com has some

Kind of looks like there was an oil leak on the PTO shaft still

@@tillermanfarms2162 can you give me the part #please?
