fedrailcar 0 #1 Posted June 9, 2014 Alright guys I recently acquired a tiller for cheap....as in dirt cheap I got the tiller, mid pulleys, belt, lift cable and the lift spring as well as tensioner spring. It is in decent shape besides the fact the tiller needs all new bearings and seals. My delima here is that the serial number and model tag are missing. I plan to rebuild it. But I was woundering if anyone could tell me what model it was based off the year. It was purchased brand new by the guy I got it from in 1991. So if someone can give me some insight on where I can get parts as well that would be great thanks again guys! Brad Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fedrailcar 0 #2 Posted June 9, 2014 OK found out the tiller is a model#07-36tl04. So does anyone have any suggestions on a good online source to get parts from for this tiller? I need all the bearings for it as well as seals and a few snap rings. Any help is greatly appreciated Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk 43,844 #3 Posted June 9, 2014 (edited) It could be possible that the tiller was made a different year than the tractor. Say 1989 or 1990. Sitting in a whare house until a dealer ordered it. Tiller is 1990 based on the model # Edited June 9, 2014 by squonk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fedrailcar 0 #4 Posted June 9, 2014 That's a good possibility. Not out of the question for sure. I've looked online at Toro's parts lookup and its seems to match up to what I have. And a dealer here fairly local for wheel horse parts thought it might be a 07-36tl04 as well. If I recall 1990 was a 07-36tl04 and 1991 couldn't find a model for that year. And the next available year model was in 1992 tiller model #07-36tl05. So from what I'm guessing I have a left over 1990 year model tiller. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fedrailcar 0 #5 Posted June 9, 2014 And just to clarify I only have the tiller not the tractor. I know for a fact his tractor is a 1991 year model. But was uncertain of the tiller since the model tag was gone. And believe it or not it all bolts up and works on my 1974 8hp 4spd Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tim 97 #6 Posted June 9, 2014 when I rebuilt my tiller I bought all of the bearings and seals from a local shop. they were the exact same thing that WH used (torrrington bearings) the cost was about 1/3 what the dealer had Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fedrailcar 0 #7 Posted June 9, 2014 I have a place around here locally but my problem is I have no bearings in usable condition to compare to. If I could find bearing deminsions I could just get them from the place down the street from my house Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cyrus 4 #8 Posted June 10, 2014 first off, i would not buy the bearings from your local toro dealer. I would go to a Fastenal or an other industrial power transmission supply house. for example, i needed to replace the jack shaft bearings on my snow blower this past fall. Toro price = 58 each. The local Applied Industrial Technologies price = 20 each. I'll buy belts and other very specific items from Toro, but everything i can buy else were, i do.

Tim 97 #9 Posted June 17, 2014 I still have the receipt of what I bought but the part numbers seem specific to the place I bought them maybe it will help Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tim 97 #10 Posted June 17, 2014 the older instruction manuals had a better description of the parts I think they are the same back then as they were in 1991 the 1991 manual had very generic descriptions Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fedrailcar 0 #11 Posted June 18, 2014 Well guys I think I have it figured out now I took all my parts and prices to the local bearing supplier and we mic'ed everything and come up with every bearing and seal I needed. And believe it or not it was on 60 bucks. That was for every bearing and seal in the thing. *peices Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fedrailcar 0 #12 Posted June 18, 2014 I really aprecciate all the help! The only thing I'm missing is the gasket that goes between the two case half's. Would a good coating of aviation cement work? They seem to be good smooth machined surfaces Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
