Troy-Bilt tiller Crankcase Vent Tube

17 years ago

I just bought an '82 Troy-Bilt Horse tiller, with the 6HP Tecumseh engine. The tiller seems to have been use very little, and is in excellent shape. The tines are still very sharp, and the molding vent "nipples" are still on the tire treads! It came with all the original manuals and tiller parts lists, and the hiller/furrower attachment (unused).

There is one problem. The crankcase ventilation tube from the crankcase to the carb inlet is missing. I tried to get one, but the online parts list for Tecumseh HH60 engines (I looked at a LOT of them) only show horizontal air cleaner mounts. My engine is the HH60-105115H. The engine has a 90 deg. air cleaner mount placing the air cleaner vertical. There is a plastic nipple on the right angle mount for the vent tube, but the only hose shown in any of the engine parts lists do not work for this.

I can jury rig something with the standard tube using other metal or plastic tube "extensions", but would love to put it back to normal.

Does anyone have a clue how I would find the correct vent tube assembly? My local Tecumseh dealer did not have a clue. Did Troy add this and not call it out in the Tiller parts list?
