If you guys can offer expert advice on refurbishing Tiki sculpture eyeballs then you should have some answers for me on this. I picked this old tiller up a year ago and used it but now it's time for me to actually maintain it. I'm pretty sure it's a Troy-Built.
Probably the Horse model. Works great. fun to operate.
Gearbox. The gear oil in this thing looks almost exactly like chocolate milk. I think this is bad and that the oil should be changed. What gear oil should I use? Plain ol' "Ninety Weight?"
In a couple of the pics you can see a plug on the side of the gearbox. Down below there is a drain plug. I would drain out the old gear oil, then put the drain plug in and fill it to where the upper plug is, right? This upper plug is quite small. Not bigger than about 10mm. I mean.....a hose that would enter that hole would be no bigger than a drinking straw. How on Earth am I going to get oil into this thing?
