Greetings from a newbie.
I just acquired a Troy-Bilt walk-behind sickle mower, model 34034. I was able to find several owners' manuals on line, but none of them seem to reflect totally how my mower is built, even though they list this model. My mower does not have a lock-out pin on the side, the manuals I've seen all show this. In the manual, the lever that engages the cutter bar is a flat piece of steel that moves from right to left. My mower has a similar lever but it is round stock and is formed to look like a big circle. Just curious if anyone knows of a good source for Troy-Bilt manuals that are for this machine.
The engine is a B&S 126782 5hp I/C engine. I am curious if there is another engine that would fit this if replacement would ever be necessary.
Thanks for providing such a great resource.
