Tiller broke today

Recommended Posts

Today my Toro Wheel Horse tiller stopped tilling. It was doing god and it stopped turning. The pto stopped turning also.. The tiller tines  will move very little in either direction. Does anyone have any idea what may have happened. I hope to check it out next week.

Bearing seized some where. Take off the belt and check end to end.

There is a massive pair of sprockets and a chain inside, hopefully they aren’t knackered.  Have you checked the oil?

When you check for movement has the belt been removed?

Is your PTO mechanical or electric?

Is the belt slipping on the PTO or is the PTO not attempting to move the belt?

I removed the belt from the manual pto and the tines move very little. I drained the lube today and it had very small, minute specks of metal but no large pieces drained out. I also can see the gear at the drain plug which means the chain is off of that gear. Hopefully just a broken chain. Hope to try to separate the case tomorrow to check it out.

Here is what it looks like in there. I put new seals in mine a few years ago.

Pretty stout chain there Don #50?   Is there a master link?
