Hi folks, I'm at it again, and as usual, I'm out of my depth. This time, I have just installed an old 36 inch tiller. Model is unknown, but this has to be an 80's or 90's vintage. It has a Wheel Horse label, though the model and serial number are illegible. After some research, fussing, and a few miscellaneous pins and springs, I got the thing together this morning, and it was working!!! Unfortunately, I think I BROKE it. 😒 Admittedly, I'm trying to till a rough patch of ground, and I'm new to the machine. I thought I got the feel of it. I put the tiller in the ground and let it till for a bit before moving ahead a foot or so. But ultimately, it stopped working. I am intimately familiar with the belt assembly at this point. It's not the belt or the assembly. The PTO is working, the large pully on the tiller is turning, the shaft is turning, but the tines are not. So, my question to you Wheel Horse guru's is: What am I in for? Getting this thing on was a chore. The prospect of taking it off is not pleasant, but it seems like I'm going to have to get into the gear box. Any advice before I disassemble? Thanks in advance, Ron

Hi I have recently bought a cheap old gearbox mainly for the cast hubs that the wheels bolt to, then I thought as it turns a little but can't change gear or anything like that it would be interesting to look inside!! Do they all look like this? Can it be brought back to life? It's now soaking in a tub of paraffin to see if it will clean up. It's a 4 speed with high and low ratios with a 1 1/8" axle, I think I read somewhere that there are two sizes of axle. Any thoughts? Andrew
