Tired Tecumseh Troy-Bilt Tuffy Tiller - No Compression
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 тра 2023
- A local subscriber(Paul) dropped off a trailer load of equipment. This Troy-Bilt Tuffy tiller was one of the items. It was given to him from a neighbor who said it probably just needs a new carburetor. Paul purchased a carburetor and then pulled the engine over and found it had no compression. If this 34 year old Tecumseh junk or will it run and till again?

And to think I told you the previous owner was sure it was only a carb issue. Fooled ya! Lol. I’m glad I brought it to you rather than trying to dig into it myself. This was way beyond my ability. Great job, Jim. You’re still the best of the best! Hope you find it a good home.
My grandfather was born in 1918. Died in 2011. Saw it all. Learned to be frugal. Lived his life saving family & neighbor’s cars and equipment from the scrap yard. He would certainly love & appreciate your work.
I've been looking for a used tiller for several years now and have been paying a reasonable charge to rent one. My hunt was accelerated when the business I rented from for all those years increased the rate over 100% this year (it's the same machine I've been renting for years). Last week I visited a garage sale and found this model offered for $25. The seller accepted my offer of $20. I did get it to start but only by spraying starting fluid into the carburetor. The starting cord was broken and I was able to use the remaining cord for a few pulls until it broke again. I watched your presentation from cover to cover as I believe that my machine has many, if not all, of the issues. I was delighted to find your presentation and hope to be able to make all of the repairs. You have provided me with a wealth of information on how to get my machine operating. Thank you.
Another fine fix James. I wanted to mention a product in the heavy machinery industry we called them ( Speedy Sleeve ) Any place that sells Chicago Rawhide seals or a place like Motion Industries should carry them. They are a paper thin metal sleeve that fits onto the damaged or worn shaft where the seal would ride. You give them the seal part number you are using ( OEM ) and they will supply you with a speedy sleeve and the shaft seal to mate with that sleeve. An awesome product I have used for over 35 years on 350 to 1000 horse power gear boxes without any failures.
James, that pitted transmission shaft can be renewed with a "speedy sleeve"!
I have one of those. One of the first things I did when new was to grease those axles, then put the wheels back on. They come with quick disconnect pins so you can take them out, push the wheel back, then re-install the pin so it can freewheel and you can roll it around with the engine off. If you forget to put the pins back to drive position and engage the tiller in the ground, hold on! Really god job on that tiller. Troy-bilts are good ones.
Judging from the wear on the tines and the fact that they look like the original ones, that tiller seen very little use to he in the condition its in. That is what letting things sit outside will do for you.
That was a lot of work. It looks like that machine was stored outside in the weather for part of its life. That will ruin any nice machine.
Good job, Jim. When you were going to RTV the gear box plate, I was thinking...just make a gasket. And then...yep, good job! ;-)
I'm not 100% sure what type of gasket material you were using, but I will just put a piece of paper over the object and run over it with crayon to create a template if I want it to be perfect. I also have an antique scalpel that I use to cut them. It swivels to some degree, and it is great for cutting gaskets.
I had that exact tiller! My wife's father bought it brand new sometime in the '70's or '80's, and used it a lot. When he died, we inherited it, and I used it several times over the last 23 years or so. Sometime last year (2022), it lost compression, and it was so old and beat up, that I decided not to fix it. I gave it to my gardener. He fixed it (stuck valve) and is still using it to this day. It's got to be 50 years old, and still going strong.
I’ve never had very good luck with Tecumseh engines. Good job!
It's always a pleasure to watch your videos, James. Another great machine saved and revived 👏
This was another great video, with fantastic editing. The time and attention you put into these projects is really paying off. Thank you for sharing!
Your attention to detail always astounds me, you find the small things a lot of us miss, great fix, and great video as always!
Such a great design! I’ve been retired 10 years, limited funds and who knows how much time I have left!!! But I recently bought a well beat Silver fox cart, restored and repaired and reinforced the frame, extended the rear chassis to fit a Duromax 440, improved the brakes, added lights and have a lot of fun with it! You’re never too old!!!! You’re only as old as you let yourself be!! I have a Baja Warrior I have done a lot of mods to also!
Amazing. You are an expert in so many things and I’ve learned a ton from watching over 20 of your videos. Thanks for what you do!
I love the way the choke lever allows the careless operator to touch the uninsulated plug ..... I have (not so) fond memories of reaching to shut off the press to close fuel tap on our old Victa mower - the tap was located directly above the spark plug. I came to on my backside 10 feet behind the mower which was still idling away...... That was 60 years ago, never forgotten 😂
This was great to watch. Thanks, made my afternoon. Patience and attention to detail wins every time.
I swear, I've been watching you too long. I ordered a roll of gasket material yesterday for those "Just in case" moments, and here you are using it today!
