Troy-Bilt TB230 Self-propelled Mower Problem

[calebbaker1001]

Hello fellows, I'm very concerned about the OHV cover on the 7.25HP mower I have recently bought 6 days ago. Below the OHV cover is oil, I felt the bottom of the OHV cover and there was oil on my finger. Is this normal as it says with the manual that you don't ever have to change the oil, just add when needed? Or, is it a gasket failure or does the cover need to be tightened equally on each bolt again? Thanks.

Oil on the bottom of the valve cover is not normal. Take it to your nearest Briggs dealer for warranty repair.

If you bought it new six days ago take it back with receipt & get your money back & buy a Honda, Snapper, Toro, etc., something dependable.
