Replcement Engine for Troy-Built Horse

gregkabob · May 4, 2011

I started scouring the net and found the belt number CP9245 for a Horse that uses two belts. They were $10.39 each. Ordered two. Now I'm anxious to get the motor in and get the ol Horse running again.

Here's a link to some of the different Troy bilt belts. If you look at the description, they give the length and width which might help locate an equivalent belt at an auto shop. The actual tiller belts are supposed to be made of a tougher material than your regular auto belt, however.

I needed a belt for my Troybilt chipper and I found that the local lawn mower shop carried Kevlar belts in various sizes. Not too pricey, either -about $16

HF is closing out their 6.5HP engines on line for $75. If you use the code SHOP20 you get an additional $15 off bringing the price to $60. I'm tempted to buy one just because..........

Yep. Out with the Greyhound and in with the Predator line.

FedEx just dropped off the new motor from HF. I went out at lunch to pick up the correct bolts and waiting for the new belts to come in and I'll mount it up. Looking forward to getting the old Horse up and running. Did find a site to get the manuals for the tiller. Found that when I was looking for a service manual for my Kawasaki 17hp motor.

Ye Haw, My co-worker just walked in with the new belts. I'll have the tiller up and running by the weekend.

HeeHaw,

I ordered one off the website for $74 last Thursday. Here's the link to the webpage and still showing $74. It wouldn't take teh 20% coupon code with I ordered but heck for 74 bucks I'm not complaining.

6.5 HP Gas Engine - CA Certified

Shipping is 10 bucks.

DOH... I see that this is the CA motor and for the rest of the US that motor does say instore only. Guess I lucked out and got one before they stopped selling them online. Sorry for any confusion. If you live in CA the motor is still available to order.
