I kno this video is 3 yrs old but I'm thankful you shared this because it helped me find the right part number for the reversing disc. Thankyou for tis video and info.
Mr.Brian! That was amazing!
Thank you very much for sharing your videos with me god bless you god blessed your family
You are so welcome
I've got a 7 hp Tecumseh troy bilt rear tine tiller that I bought a couple of years ago. I haven't had it running since then or in 2019. The rear tines are locked in, in the forward stage. And it's harder than hell to get started like this. Lol lol. It tills Beautiful when it does run though. It needs rebuilt completely but can't afford it right now. Thanks again for sharing your video with us.
Thank you for this video. I bought an old used Troy Built Horse 8HP and the previous owner said it needed a belt for reverse, but in fact, it has this little wheel with rubber on it just like you showed. It turns out the adjustment for reverse was set too high, so it could not engage. Your video was very useful for helping me understand how it was supposed to work. BRAVO!
Glad I was able to help you out! Enjoy your tiller!
Beautiful, thank you. I just bought this same model for 100 bucks and it had no reverse.
Brilliant video thank you
A buddy of mine just bought two old troy bilts like this and wants me to fix them. One has a chunk of rubber missing from the reverse disc. This video told me what I needed to know. Thanks!
Pretty simple fix once you know what you need. Glad to help.
Thank you! Mine looks just like yours less electric start but is the 7 hp Kohler which purrs like a kitten at idle. Great machine! GB
Just fixed one up and it's running, really helpful video thanks man
Glad I could help you! Happy tilling!
@@MrBriansAmazingWorld That's perfect timing I just did my first tilling job for a new client. Went over it maybe 6-7 times and the tiller was amazing. 30'x15'
Got one apart at shop replaced bearings and seals 1990 model needs motor but gave too me enjoying the challenge love working on making things better
I love working on engines and getting them to breath and run again. So rewarding especially when other people say it won't run again.
Thank you!!
Hay, nice job. Mind is the same but I have problem staring it. On yours the fuel pipe to start, is it possible to show me a close up to see how yours it made?
Great info; I've got one identical to yours that the motor died six years ago; the dealer ordered a new engine, Kohler that was a exact fit ! My unit is a 1977 model. Am going to have to change belts first then am going to change reverse disc. Thanks for the video. These are great tillers.
Great until mice build a nest in the cooling fins. Blew up the engine. Just put a Predator engine in it. Much quieter. We have a video on it.
The Honda GX 200 is the best way to go
thanks for the tutorial brain, it took me a while to find the video with google search try putting in the search terms for the video the part number for the disk GW-1919 it may help with more views. Thanks again this looks pretty simple to replace!
Wow great feedback! Thanks for the tip. Hope I helped you fix your tiller.
I have what looks like the same tiller only mine has handle switches (don’t know what they do). They are little handles under the grips that do something. They are called forward interlock levers but haven’t seen them do anything. Any guesses on what they do?
Great job..my $150 7hp has no reverse but the Kohler engine sounds great..the disc is $20 on eBay..USA? who knows..BTW a good squirt of oil in the return spring might help that rope problem...
Thank you sir 👍
Glad to help.
Check out Steve’s small engine saloon on fixing your pull cord. I believe you just need to pull it and clean the debris and spray it. I prefer silicone spray because dirt doesn’t stick to it.
It just needed to get used a few times. Was sticking up from sitting. Worst part was that mice built a nest out of insulation in the head fins and ended up blowing the engine up. Made a video about that and installing a new engine.
Same problem here. Thanks much!
Glad to help!
I have one of these tanks...Can you reverse the tiller tines while wheels go forward
My 75 year old neighbor just Bartered for one the other day and he wants me to get it going for him
The engine is fine ( replaced not long ago ) but it is stuck with the tines engaged
When you pull the rope it turns the tines
I'm wondering if there's any where to buy parts for it
I don't even know what the levers do or that T handle sticking up in the middle
I've never worked on one this old
Do you have a part # for the pulley wheel?
Thanks Brian, almost everything i needed to know,,, But, I couldn't get the reverse bolt completely out, & the disk is stuck solid.
Should I use a screwdriver as a wedge, & pry between the the disk & belt pulley without hurting anything? You didn't show that part in the removal so I guess your old disk just fell off?
Another problem I have is that the plastic gas tank, fuel line hose fitting leaks. It has a push-in rubber gasket or seal that got hard from age,,, & I can't find that part anywhere. When I pried it out of the tank, the rubber cracked.
Do you have an easy FIX for that?
Thanks
To remove a stuck reverse disk, disconnect the spark plug. Take a wooden stick and a hammer and tap the disk backwards, rotating the engine a little each time with the pull-cord. Be patient and the disk will gradually slide off.
Great video Brian! Thanks. Quick question: is it just the disk you replaced that has the rubber? Is the lower disc also rubber coated? Or does it just contact metal on the lower pulley? Thanks!
Yes only one disc had rubber on it. It contacts the metal one when. You put it in reverse.
@@MrBriansAmazingWorld Thanks for the reply! My local farm store had one in stock. Picked it up and had it swapped in no time. Your channel lock trick saved the day! I had to adjust the height of the nut on the spring just behind the reverse disc. With the extra rubber on the new disc it was engaging while in neutral. A couple turns to back out the bolt and raise the engine height in neutral position was all it needed. It's working like new again!
I have a 1970 model of that tiller ... I have a ceramic disc that engages the pulley for reverse. Going to change over to this rubber wheel thing. Can I ask where you got it ???
I got it on Ebay. Just check your model they made a few different ones.
You may also try custom parts inc.
They have many parts for Troy bilt
If you change to a ceramic disk - you may need to change the opposing pulleys as well. At least on my horse tiller, the ceramic disk fits into a vee-groove instead of rolling on a smooth surface. There are also 2 identical v-belts for forward motion.
Were did you buy the pully? I need one. Thank you, for the video!!
I have a link in the description to order one.
@MrBriansAmazingWorld mine is an older model. It's fiber. I ordered one, but thanks!
Man, you need to put some air in them tires.😂😂😂😂
What was the part number for the part you replaced?
Mine has 2 belts and if you push forward on the drive lever it goes fast. Pull down to go slow.
Some have 2 belts. Mine has 2 pulleys that you can move the belts between the 2 for different speeds. Mine also has the slow and fast controlled by the lever. So all together you have 4 different speeds to choose from depending how you set it up. If your pulleys are different sizes then you should only be using one belt.
I have the same one, what do you think I’d get for it for sale?
Couple old ones on Ebay between $500 - $700 no takers
Anybody know how I can rewire my Troy bilt horse with 8hp engine ,rewire ignition switch to selenoide ,the stator an ground cable 🙏🏼
Shouldn't be to hard to rewire. Only a few wires. Switch to solenoid. 12+ to solenoid and solenoid to starter. 12- to ground. Other wire for 12+ to charge the battery.
Mine is a 1972 vintage same engine HH60 inherited from my wife`s grandfather. It has a completely different reverse disc wheel . It is a solid friction disc shaped like the inner V of the pulley that it meshes with , held in by a 9 /16 bolt through the center and 3 , 3/16th Allen cap bolts secure the 2 1/2 washer plate that secure it to the backing hu . It works still without issues . Somewhere along the line Troybilt must have changed the design to what you show in the video.
Seeing American branded product turned into solid crap by greedy manufactures is sad ..and maddening because in addition to being crap , the price one has to pay for it is ridiculous. I wish I could post pictures of mine ..51 years of use on it and it works flawlessly still on the original drive belts . Just changed transmission oil last week . Awesome machine ...the repair / service manuals are still available . PDF through MTD present time the parent company .
The 2 speed is the right hand leaver.It takes two belts for proper operation.Better power.
Some models had 2 belts. This one uses one belt that can be move to change the gear ratio. Pulleys are different sizes.
@@MrBriansAmazingWorld putting two belts on a one belt horse system locks up the tranny and makes you think the gears are shot. Just bought one like that, check the serial numbers!
Hey just got one of there what’s the T handle
The T handle adjusts the handlebars.
It allows you to turn the handle bars to the side so your not walking and packing down your freshly tilled soil.
IF you take it out it makes it easier to fill the gear box with gear oil , only until it comes out of the side plug
I wish you had the part number or website that we can order one
I got it off ebay. Just search horse tiller reverse and you'll get the rubber disc.
I used to work at troy bilt 350 tillers out the door every day 1981 built to run forever
Pretty cool that so many of the machines you helped build are still working.
@@MrBriansAmazingWorld built like 8n tractor just keep puting new engines or rebuild
@@mariodinovo4018 Hay Mario,,, Do you know an easy way to FIX my leaking plastic gas tank rubber gasket/ seal?
@@jdoboy6835 ethanol fuel dried it out look online for replacement
Been There Done That,, for hours. Turns out that I happened to have the perfect size pipe fitting Hose barb in a drawer. I put a gob of gas proof epoxy on the threads & it screwed in tight. Then I add another nice size bead to the outside. Hopefully, a DONE DEAL! Thanks.
Did you pay the Troy Bilt OEM price of $63.49 for the Disc-reverse, or did you get the Ebay cheepo for $17.00 ?
I went with the ebay cheapo. And let me tell you the quality is atrocious. Made in USA. But it is working.
I'll go with the cheaper one then, I only use reverse when repairing small spots in the lawn where invasive grass set in
Where do you find the parts for this machine?
Good chance Ebay has what you need. Some online small engine parts companies have parts too.
What’s “pathetic” about the new reverse disk?
The quality of it was not that great. Rather poor casting of rubber.
Hey Brian,
I think you forgot to have your girl do a cold start video on various pull start machines remember 🤔?
Oh I didn't forget! I have a list with 12 videos to make on it and that is one of them. Have to get the seasonal and time related ones out first. But it is coming. Going to have her start the tiller today. I'll be sure to film it.
Mr. Brian's Amazing World
K, cool!
Yeah, and the atc and anything else she can get her hands on okay?
I’am sorry can’t put it in neutral my machine It’s same is yours I recently bought it without working god bless you I’am sorry I’am desabled
I would check to see if it has the right belt on it. Too tight and it wont have neutral.
I just figured out troy tillers have a life time warranty. Did you know that?
No idea. Really can't kill them. That's why so many are still around.
i know its a year later when i seen video. but dude.. that motor is not running right. when you put it in forward. that motor should not have boged down. you were not doing any work with it... if it still runs this way ... it needs fixing.. that tiller will come alive ... even tilling it shouldnt drop as many RPMs as it did in this video...
