Anybody have a Troy-Bilt Pony tiller?

I use 85- 140W gear oil available at any autoparts store..

Look for a Briggs and Stratton manual. Libraries are full of manuals. Some manuals are even online now. (although that was Black and Dekka) I suspect it's not an outboard motor but see if you can identify the model first.

My horse specifies straight 90 or 140-weight. Nothing goes very fast in there... Troy Bilt always used to guarantee a user's manual to any current owner; don't know if MTD (is it?) will continue that, but it's worth a try. For another poster: The engine book won't help; we're talking about the gearbox that powers wheels and tines. Ah for the days when I could just drive less than hour over to Troy and get parts off the shelf...

I believe the manuals are online. I got one for my 6 HP Horse before I found the original. They used SAE 140 from the factory.

Thanks for the responses. The B&S engine is not a problem but I don't want to wreck a gearbox that they don't make anymore. I'm going to try to get a manual from MTD but I don't know how far back they go. BTW, MTD seems to stand for Modern Tool & Die. I converted a small patch of lawn yesterday and, while it's not a Horse, it gets the job done just fine. I want to change all the fluids and filters before I really get wailing. Brian, in Cedar
