How to Remove a Tire Rim From a Model 7611 Troy Built Horse Tiller

The 7611 Horse Garden Tiller by Troy Bilt was equipped with a 306 cc Briggs & Stratton engine. The tiller offered a 22-inch cutting width and an 8-inch depth adjustment. The Horse Tiller produced 13.5 foot-pounds of torque. The wheels on the horse tiller are pinned into the tiller axle from behind the wheel. There are left-hand and right-hand assembled wheels and tires on this tiller. Make sure you replace the tires with the tread pointing the same way during installation, as they are directional.
