Help Identifing Garden Way Tiller

17 years ago

I recently acquired an old Garden Way tiller and have been trying to determine exactly what I have and find documentation for it. There are various numbers, machine stamped, on the tiller of the format TH-nnnn. I was able to find what appears to be a hand stamped serial number on the top right side of the transmission case -- 497107. It has a 8hp B&S engine that appears to be original. From what I have read, I believe this is Troy Bilt Horse tiller. But what model is it -- I, II, III, IV, etc.? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks -- TPW

It's a "Horse" model....the smaller models wer "Pony' and "Junior".....if yours works properly....you have a very nice unit .....I worked for Gardenway in the mid 80's...I tuned up more "Horses" than I care to remember ....Good Luck Jim

BTW if you go to the MTD website you should be able to find manuals for your TB,,,as MTD now owns them...

Thanks Jim! It seems to be a solid unit. Do you know how I can determine if this "Horse" is a I, II, III or IV? Or, does it matter? The reason I ask is for ordering parts. I noticed there were difference parts lists and I don't want to order parts from one list and find out I ordered from the wrong list.

the ones I tuned were ones...then the two's came out with a PTO to disengage the tines ...(as reverse sometimes tickled your toes....) as for 3's and 4's ,I can't say I know the difference ....Sorry Jim

BTW if you do not have a PTO handle to engage the tines ,I believe it's a "One"....
