See the recent (July) thread about Troy Bilt engine with similar problem
(OP: stryed).

Speaking of Troy Built, does anyone know where to find one of
their sickle-bar walk-behind mowers near the Northern VA area? They
seem to have discontinued it -- considered it to be dangerous for some
funny reason -- and it seems to be the right thing for dealing with my
irregular terrain when the town gets nasty about mowing. :-)

Enjoy,

When MTD bought them out the sickle bars were dropped (along with many
other troy-bilt items) The main reason was lack of sales. The ONLY
Troy-Bilt item that had good sales levels were the tillers. That is one
of the primary reasons why they went under.
