Troy built mower honda 160 engine oil leak around governer shaft. no oil seal but shows one on parts breakdown. Can not find part number for shown seal.

Used mower was over filled with oil by local talent. Oil leak around governer shaft. Parts department said that engine serial number does not have oil seal where engine is leaking. Called a Honda tech and all he would say is that if it leaks there, it was over filled. Help

Drain oil from mower until proper level. Remove spark plug and pull starter rope several times to blow out cylinder. Spray starter fluid in cylinder pull rope several times to clean out. Replace fouled plug with new spark plug. Remove air cleaner, ensure no oil present, replace filter as needed. Clean air filter box with carb cleaner. Install new air filter reattach filter cover. Prime engine, pull starter rope 1/2 way 4 times to help prime, then pull starter rope fully up to 10 times to start.

SOURCE: oil drain plug

Drain plug is not necessary. Remove the dipstick and tip the mower to the side the dipstick is on and use the dipstick tube as a drain.

Could you have hit something very hard with the blade while cutting? This could cause the shaft to bend and damage the seal. I have never heard of a 90 day guarantee, seals normally last for years.

SOURCE: Honda Self-Propelled Lawn Mower leaking oil?

It is toast you fried the crank/connecting rod, by running it low on oil.
Its hard to say what caused the oil leak, but now it is ruined.

SOURCE: oil leaking from the box on the rod that connects

No that should just be your transmission for self propelled. Most likely belt driven off motor, with level connected to cable to select drive. . Probabaly a seal leaking on the driveshaft. You could either try and replace seall or replace transmission

Leak oil from underneith where the shaft comes out of the engine

If you look at the bottom of the engine, if you see oil on the large shaft coming out of the engine where the blade is attached, the PTO or crankshaft seal is leaking. It can be replace without taking the engine apart, but you'll need to remove the blade and adapter from the crankshaft, which can be difficult without the proper tools. You'll also have to remove the old seal, with a seal puller, or by using a couple self-tapping sheet metal screws into the outer metal part of the seal. You then would pry on the screw heads to remove the seal. Replace with a new one after cleaning out the bottom of the crankcase. Clean the PTO so that the new seal is not damaged as it is slid into place. You can use a length of plastic pipe to drive the new seal into place. Replace adapter and blade. Check oil level before use.
Oh, be sure it is not the drain plug, as it may have been left a bit loose if the oil was recently changed.

Beater hard to remove...oil leaking out of the place where you insert the beater

The agitater shaft that the beater attaches to is bent and needs to be replaced. It's easy to do . You should replace the shaft , pin, and seal above it. You may also want to replace the part the shaft mount through, to stop oil leak. You can google the model number and find a parts breakdown for the part numbers .

How to change the oil in my troy built pont where is the drain plug

Not sure what a pont is, or what motor you have, but on some of the Troy built small engines from Honda the geniuses designed the motor with no drain plug. You have to tilt or flip the engine over to drain oil out the filler

I need a new motor for horse model, serial no. 360331. which models fit this troy built.

Just about any engine with a 3/4" horizontal shaft that is internally threaded on the end and has the four bolt mounting pattern around the shaft will work. I have gone to Harbor Freight and purchased their 6.5 H.P. engine that is a Honda clone and it will work fine and only costs $100-150 dollars. The only difference is that it uses a metric bolt to hold the pulley on the shaft,the four mounting bolts are metric and you have to disconnect the low oil shutoff or the engine will die when you are tilling deep. It is a good low cost option for the Horse tillers.
