got a (1994?) troy-built mower self propelled. other than bad speed control..very nice.  paid $10.   is this mower worth investing in a new control? heard that part is very expensive.  just curious    thanks    Gene

Thanks for the input gang..it is going to the scrap this week-end.  my hunch was just what I thought. JUNK.  I lost only $10..but a lesson learned.  have a great day             Gene

Hi folks...

Neighbor bought a new Troybuilt self-propelled 21" walkbehind last spring...

First to third time using it... the drive system wasn't working well at all... He wasn't happy...

i serviced an older troybilt mower some years ago .it was rear wheel drive and was buily very very good.

i was impressed with its quality and the reason i remember it after all these years is because it had a D shaped handle that was used to adjust all the wheels height at once.and it set them infinate there was no notches or anything ,you just cranked it up or down simple.

had a real heavy tranny in it and 3 or 4 speeds,nice unit.

probably only made a few and never any parts for them now.

new troy stuff dosent interest me much now,im gonna miss those rear tine tillers.
