No, I didn't know it was a 2017 model, it was given to me by a neighbor; but now I do ! Thanks.

Thank you StarTech for the answer and clarification. I had downloaded PDF document MTD Form No. 769-05383 (May 13, 2010); shows on pp. 40-41 part 34, as 946-04670 (pages 2 and 3 on the truncated file I've attached).

Troy-Bilt Lawn Mower Model 11A-B2RQ711 S/N 1D117K02798 has Honda engine and engine cover states TB130 XP My neighbor gave me this mower, as he hadn't used it in years as he's replaced his grass with rocks. I added gas, cleaned the air filter, started it up and it runs good. However, he...

Good update !

This is from my LT1000, but a 2005 model, but might help

Owner's manual

I've had where schmutz is preventing the pulley from moving in its slot, so cannot move the pulley into position to put tension on the mowing belt.

Make sure that the choke butterfly is open when it gets hot. I had that stick on my LT1000 B&S engine, added an extra spring to make sure it didn't stay "closed"/rich.

Nothing wrong if you find the other half of the mower blade, carefully weld it the found end on, file off most of the weld, sharpen it, and balance it. Or simply buy a new blade !!!! I've never had that happen and I mow tumbleweeds, not a lawn.....
