Vintage Troy-Bolt Rototiller 1972
« on: March 10, 2016, 02:14:51 PM »
All,

 I have a vintage Troy-Bilt that my parents purchased new in 1972. It has a 6 HP Tecumseh engine and runs great. Trouble is, I had to replace the carb because I was not carful when put tiller back the shed and I broke an ear off of the carb..

 And now I am having an issue hooking up the carb linkage...

 Photos would be nice if anyone has any to share!
 
 Thanks
 Kirk

I have a '81 model with 6hp Tecumseh,  wonder if they would be the same?

If I don't get a photo tonite,  I could do tomorrow for sure.   

Oh,  don't laugh at my JB-Welded carb,  ;D   also broken off one time when getting too close to garage and tire dropping into "ditch".

A photo of carb on my tiller.   If this is same as yours, and you would like photos from different angles, let me know.

Note the brace from fuel tank to air cleaner,  :)    I added it to take a load off the carb flange.  15 years later, and everything is doing ok.

Kirk,   did you need any more photos?    I actually went ahead and pulled the tiller out of shed, and tilled garden for first time this year. :)   To turn in the leaves etc. on the surface.    While the tiller was out,   I snapped a couple more photos of the carb,  but have not pulled them from camera yet.

Sorry for the delay lots going on at this time in our lives. New grand baby should just about cover that...

Thanks for the pick, though mine is not quite the same as that. Mine looks more like this... Though not mine and not clear enough for me to use...

I will try to post a pick of mine on Tuesday

Thanks again
Kirk
