WTS WA Troy Bilt Horse Tiller w/new engine and accessories

shibbershabber · Nov 3, 2018

Nice old Troy Bilt Rototiller

Has a new Predator 212cc engine installed.

Also has the original engine guard/push bars installed.

Comes with a plow and a legit factory manual which shows detailed repair and maintenance stuff.

Good shape, not all rusted out... NO reverse

1001 uses for this thing, not just tilling, especially with the blade attachment!

Located in Vancouver.

Asking $400
Will consider trades/partial trades of firearms

I put that same engine on my chipper-shredder 3yrs ago... it's a BEAST, and it has always started up without fail from dead cold within 3 pulls of the cord!

wait till you try and get parts for that Chinese knock off motor.

Killer price, our rebuilt ones go for double this price. Someone will get a killer deal

Hasn't been an issue on others.

Probably not if the crank snaps or something. Commonly replaced parts are available though

What happened to reverse?

There's a part called a 'reverse disc' it's a wear item like brake pads sort of.

It wears down over time and doesn't engage, it's a very simple setup

I was unaware of it when I put the new engine on so didn't order one.
We've since bought a new tiller so I never bothered to do it.

Looks pretty simple to do though. I have the book showing the process... but looks fairly plug and play
