sorekiwi 761 #1 Posted September 29, 2012 I think it was Kelly that suggested this once in a thread, but I have never read about anyone actually doing it. I think I'm done with my tiller for the year, so I decided to remove the tine assemblies to replace a leaking seal, and maybe if I can find the motivation, a look at the chain and bearings. The side where the seal was leaking slipped off just fine (what a surprise huh?) but the assembly on the other side was stuck solid. Kevin (KPinNC) showed years ago a puller he fabbed up and I was going to do that, but first I wanted to try something quick and easy. Let some PB Blaster soak in for an hour or two, pulled the two pins that hold the assembly on, drop the tiller on the ground, engage the PTO and in 5 seconds the axle was spinning inside the tines. Lift the tiller back up and slide off the tine assembly. Doesnt get much quicker than that! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WildHorses 378 #3 Posted March 8, 2014 I used this method and it works well so long as the ground isn't soft! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cumminscook 56 #4 Posted March 9, 2014 do you have to split the case on the tiller to replace the seals ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
