A lot of parts for the original Troy built machines are extremely
difficult to find anymore. My neighbors Troy Horse Pro is in need of
tranny parts, which he has yet to be able to find. Those dealers that
do have a stock of the original parts seem to be jacking up prices to
take advantage of the situation. Parts from MTD in general sucks.
They don';t seem to keep much in the line of a lot of parts if the
machine is just a few years old. Guess it gives credence to throwaway
merchandise
