Troy-Bilt Pony Manuel D’Utilisation

If the steering wheel for your tractor did not come attached, the 
hardware for attaching it has been packed within the steering 
wheel, beneath the steering wheel cap. Carefully pry off the 
steering wheel cap and remove the hardware.

With the wheels of the tractor pointing straight forward, 
place the steering wheel over the steering shaft.
Place the washer (with the cupped side down) over the 
steering wheel and secure with the hex bolt. See Fig. 3-3. 

Place the steering wheel cap over the center of the steering 
wheel and push downward until it “clicks” into place

If the seat for your tractor was not attached at the factory, refer 
to the following steps.
NOTE: For shipping reasons, seats are either fastened to the 
tractor seat’s pivot bracket with a plastic tie, or mounted 
backward to the pivot bracket. In either case, free the seat from 
its shipping position and remove the two knobs from the bottom 
of seat before proceeding with the instructions below.

Position the shoulder screws (found on the base of the 
seat) inside the slot openings in the seat pivot bracket.  
Fig. 3-4.
Slide the seat slightly rearward in the seat pivot bracket, 
lining up the rear slots in the pivot bracket with the 
remaining two holes in the seat’s base. 
Select desired position for the seat, and secure with the 
two knobs removed earlier.
To adjust the position of the seat on models so equipped, 
loosen the two knobs on the bottom of the seat. Slide the 
seat forward or backward as desired. Retighten the two 
knobs.

Maximum tire pressure under any 

circumstances is 30 psi. Equal tire pressure should be 
maintained at all times. Never exceed the maximum 
inflation pressure shown on the sidewall of the tire.

The recommended operating tire pressure is:

Approximately 10 psi for the rear tires 
Approximately 14 psi for the front tires

Refer to the tire sidewall for exact tire 

manufacturer’s recommended or maximum psi. Do not 
overinflate. Uneven tire pressure could cause the cutting deck to 
mow unevenly.

The gasoline tank is located under the hood and has a capacity 
of 1 1⁄2 gallons. Do not overfill. 

Use extreme care when handling 

gasoline. Gasoline is extremely flammable and the 
vapors are explosive. Never fuel machine indoors or 
while the engine is hot or running. Extinguish 
cigarettes, cigars, pipes, and other sources of ignition.

Service the engine with gasoline and oil as instructed in the 
separate Engine Operator/Owner Manual packed with your 
tractor. Read instructions carefully.
IMPORTANT: Your tractor is shipped with motor oil in the 
engine. However, you MUST check the oil level before 
operating. Be careful not to overfill.
