I think there is a loose object in my tillers transmission case. It
will run a bit and then sieze. If I take the transmission off and
turn it backwards by hand or wrench it eventually clears up. I can
then put it back togerhter for a brief run. I may try to wash it out
with solvent first and see if something solid falls out but if that
doesn't work I'll need to take it apart. It seems pretty simple and
not many parts but I've never dealt with some of the stuff like the
bearing retainers on the axle. How do I take this thing apart?
Anybody know?
Hi,
You just described the problem I had exactly. In my case, the worm
gear had broken. I found a replacement set of gears along with a
spare transmission housing on ebay for $45. Here is a good link to
help you get the tine shaft off...

Hope all goes well!!!
Sadly Bobo fell under the Mantis in the Christmas of 2010 and was composted.
His roses live on as a memorial to his skill and of course his protein.
