Need gas tank for troy bilt mdl#47287 - Troy-Bilt Chipper Shredder

Hello Arthur
I moved your post out of computers and internet category because our computer guru gets very upset by questions like this in his little domain.

Pretty much all questions need a clear

make model (what it is)

to solve, or at least some good detailed images. The serial number makes very little difference as it is usually just a sequential number that may of not have a date code in it. It looks like your item may be a Troy Bilt Chipper? Does that make sense. You also don't mention what the issue is?

The Troy Bilt part number is 1909323.

No longer manufactured. Suggest you search eBay for a used switch.

It would be possible to replace the original switch with a generic switch OEM-725-0267A but may require relocation for mounting and other wiring modifications.

Be gentle, that shift cable is NLA (I know, I need one).

It sounds as if the belt idler is not releasing. Take a look at the belt engage cable, Ref. No. 9 on this exploded view:

The spring at the end of that cable is what releases the idler from the belt. Another pic of the spring is near the idler arm Ref. No. 13 on this view:

If that spring is broken or missing, that would give the symptoms you describe.

I bought a bad photocopy of the Operator manual from a seller on eBay, and put it online:

It\'s not great quality, but it\'s better than nothing.

I\'ve got some parts manual pages there, too. Also of dubious quality, but you can make out the part numbers.

TroyBilt no longer wants anything to do with their older chipper shredders, so no luck there. However, it is a Briggs and Stratton engine and gas tank and I just called them at 800 743 4115 and ordered a replacement gas tank. They will need the engine numbers (on the opposite side of the gas tank below the muffler) to find the gas tank part number. Mike Ryan

my chipper had problem with wiring issue that the battery isn't able to take up the electricity supplied to it.. u know, the conductor between them..
if possible get a manual from reliable-store to fix it urself thats I did

Can't help with the tank, but your better auto parts stores do sell an epoxy that is designed to seal plastic fuel cells.

go to MTD site troy-built is owned by MTD

HI believe that we have a 47287 8 hp chipper/vac where would i find Model on chipper vac

It takes good gas, good spark, and good air for a gasoline engine to run well. The next thing I would do is put a new air filter in it.
