Troy Bilt 7HP Horse, K161T Kohler engine, one of the best they made, his is a really well kept one, look at the muffler, still silver, and the stickers on the tine cover, all original. These were manufactured for many years about 3 miles away from me. There is still quite a bit of N.O.S. items out there, if you look at the production numbers of these, peak production was during the era of this model that Larry has. they made hundreds of thousands of them over the years. In the 80's production dropped off, if you look at the numbers. The Kohler 161T was specifically built for these, and is a real easy starting and perfect fit for this tiller. I have the same one. 1 pull start, turn on the fuel valve, pull it over slow and gently 1x-2x to get it primed, use slight to half choke in warm temps, then give it the full tug on the rope, mine fires every season on the first one, can't beat the Kohler 7HP in my opinion.

I used to deliver lumber to the Gardenway/Troy Bilt Factory, a friend worked in their test gardens and proving grounds, they had 2 areas one close to the factory and one in this town. Sure was nice to have that product made here, lot of people were put out of work when it was moved. They still build the horse and big red about the same from what I can see on the MTD/Troy Bilt site. I recall going to the parts counter and visiting the show room, just a memory now.

I enjoy seeing them well kept after many years. Larry's is exceptional, I see dozens of them locally every season for sale, in all kinds of condition. What's cool about his, is the red and white tag on the lower right on the tine cover, most of those are missing, wore off etc. I recently saw one of these that was restored, meticulously, and they even reproduced that tag, which I believe was a factory thing, with the serial number, which is also hand stamped on a flat spot on the transmission housing on the right.

I'd love to see some close ups of this one, amazing how well preserved it is.

Larry, thanks for the photos as always !!!!!

I should have added:

Not meaning to barge in by any means, or hijack the thread, Larry sure does not need a spokesperson, the photos always do that for him LOL ! I was actually wondering about Larry, hoped all was well, have not seen anything from him lately, so its great he just posted this ! In case he's at work or away from the PC, figured it would not hurt to reply to you Bryce, seeing I know a little about these, and enjoy same, they were a great product built with pride by many people I knew or have known, even my cousin worked there for many years, expected to retire out of there. I really enjoy seeing and talking about these, so pleas don't mind me Larry, Bryce.... hard to resist posting etc.

Today's Featured Article - Uncle Cecil's Super A Lives Again - by Mike Purcell. A week or so out of most of my childhood summers was often spent with my Uncle Cecil and Aunt Sissie in the small East Texas town of Maydelle on their 80 acre farm. Some of my fondest memories of these visits are those of learning to drive a tractor at the helm of Uncle Cecil’s 1948 Farmall Super A. Uncle Cecil was the second owner of this wonderful little tractor, but it was almost as though he had adopted an infant. The original owner was a man from Minnesota who bought her from a local dea ... [Read Article]
