Hello, I have an older Troy Bilt tiller with a Tecumseh HH60 engine with an electric starter. I have been looking for a magneto with no luck and I'm wondering if any other model engines magneto would work? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Have you tried eBay or Jack's small engine? Is it a solid-state model, or does it have ignition points?
The full magneto 610689A is no longer available, but coil 30560A, points 30547A and condenser 30548 are all available. Before purchasing a parts please read the section of this manual so you understand what all must be done to replace a magneto on an older Tecumseh engine. Most people think it’s as easy as other engines, but unless you have the proper tools it’s not a plug and place repair. Second how do you know the magneto is bad? What tests have you done.

If I'm not mistaken an updated solid-state coil is supposed to fit this application and eliminate the need for the points. An OEM coil is no longer available. Tecumseh shut down around 2009.
I have done this on older Briggs and Stratton engines and they worked great.
The point trigger wire is eliminated (not connected anymore) but the ignition kill wire is still used so the ignition can be shut down.

I have found the parts I listed available on multiple websites. My experience with trying to upgrade Tecumseh engines with the CDI coils to be very very iffy and at the cost I stopped recommending this type of repair unless the customer is willing to shell out $100.00, in advance, with no guarantee.
