This is turning into quite a project. Looks like your gaining on it though. You can't be having fun if your hands are clean! |

Apparently the main belt is 54 inches is that an L4 cross section. |

| Dave, thanks that will be most helpful when I am able to get back into my shop. Right now it is filled with all the stuff I took off my truck. I have to take it to the body shop Monday to get the bed repaired from when the guy rear ended me in November. |

I got my bearing in today and I was surprised to see that it came complete with a new lock ring. Even more curious I found that the lip on the inner race and the lock ring were both cut as eccentrics. I did not notice that it was that way until I started assembling them. I miked them even thought I could see the difference clearly with my naked eye.
I can't see any such milling on my old parts. Is this intentional or is it just the kind of quality We can expect from Mexico.

| Very intentional Phil. Install bearing, put ring in place, hold shaft and turn ring to tighten against bearing ecentric. Tighten set screw. Locks bearing to shaft better than just set screw. Surprised you are not familiar with this setup. It has been common for as long as I was in the automotive trade( since 1968). Dave. |

I did not notice it on the old bearing and can't find it now since I have dumped everything out of my truck. I did try it out and by accident found that it locked to shaft when I twisted it. The old collar I examined and if it is eccentric it is not real obvious. I have never seen anything like it before in this application. I suppose the principle is the same as the cam locks on collapsing tubular legs that I am familiar with.

| On trying to get stuff loose, I'll agree with everyone that said PB Blaster. I've never found anything that works anywhere near as good for me. Spray it and let it sit for 10-15 mins. After 10-15 minutes, take a small hammer and tap(not gently, but not trying to kill it) as many areas/sides as you can and spray it again really good. Come back after 10-15 more minutes/overnite/whatever and start tapping again and see if it's made any progress. Good luck. |
If at first you don't succeed...grab a bigger hammer! |

| Phil, you want to lock that collar in the direction of rotation to make sure it stays tight to shaft |

Phil,
Did you ever get your tines off of your tiller?
Ijust started the rebuild of mine and had the same problem you did with the tiens being frozen on. Thought I would post how I got mine off.
What you can't see in the photos is that I inserted a peice of rod stock smaller then the tiller shaft into the hole to give my puller something to push against. I also used a flat tip on the end of the puller.
Ihopethis helps someone.

Dale,
that is a great idea, however all my knives are welded together so I am going to have a pretty long rod to go the full width of the extended tines. I love it when people make those kinds of modifications. I have done nothing on the tiller in weeks as my shop is crammed up with supplies I removed from my truck so I could have the bed returned. I have been too busy to take the time to reload my truck properly so the items are trickling out of the shop only as I need them for jobs. could be months before i am able to get back in there and complete welding on the tiller shield. I figured once I got the tiller PTO and shield back together I could run the tiller and see it I knock the tines loose. |
