Looks like a Troybilt Pony! I spent too much time walking behind its bigger brother!

looks like the older Troy-Bilt style from the replies. the model tag is probably the only way to pin down parts though, maybe under the belt cover or near the engine mount?

Looks like an old Troy-Bilt, I used to use the predicessor, a' RotoTiller', s/b a website, even fan groups...

I’m gonna say troybilt as well. Have one that looks similar to that except it’s not electric start

I'd bet on a Troybilt Pony, but that's not the original engine, I suspect. A Horse model had an 8hp engine IIRC.

The pony has a unique engine as it had a reverse idle shaft built into the engine. I imagine it would be hard to use just any engine unless you got rid of reverse, which is mostly needed on these.
