I picked up a used Troy Built tiller, starts on second pull, runs great. Low and high speed forward and reverse all work fine.

However, the lever to engage the rear tines is stuck in the disengage position. It appears one of the gear housing bollts that holds the tine assembly on was missing and the gear housing seal was compromised. I pulled the tine assembly off and it appears the gearcase is dry.

Does anyone have experience rebuilding these? How much further will I have to dissasemble this to free up the engaging lever?

What type of gear oil works best with these tillers?

Anyone have some good sources for owners/service manual for these. The tiller is built pretty solid and I"m looking forward to putting it to use this summer.

Thanks for any suggestions/advice you may have,

Mark

Just leave the tines off, lean the machine ahead and fill the housing with PBlaster/wd40 and then work the gear in and out with pliers, by the gear teeth. Mine did it over the winter once and awhile. Then I put some grease in there before I put the tines back on. The housing is sealed from trans and tines. Once I shut the machine off I engage the tines so this doesn't happen or aleast their engaged and will loosen with use. chris

Hi Chris,

I"ll give that a try. Once the gear is worked loose I assume you tip the machine back to drain out the WD-40 before adding the grease?

What grease do you use for this application?

Thanks for your help,

Mark

I just used some grease from the grease gun or wheel bearing grease. You wouldn't have to get all the wd out, sure wouldn't hurt anything. chris

I have an 8hp troy-bilt and always use 85/140 in mine. Thats what the original factory always said and is in owner"s manual.
