And on it's way inside. I have been waiting to so this till I got the loader ready to use to make handling it easier. The loader will be real handy to clean up the mess too.
I figured a picture of the tine layout might be good., the arrangement is not as simple as it looks.
I stacked up some pallets to make working on it easier on my back, and started tearing down. It is all in a pile of parts now. The bearings themselves were good, but they are sealed bearings, and the seals hold the oil in the gear and chain boxes, and the seals are bad, so the only option is to replace them. I suspect the chain cover may have a hole worn in it also, but do not yet have it cleaned up enough to tell. the sprockets, chains, chain cover, and top gears are already in the parts washer. My hands were too messy to use the camera.
P.S. the belt pulley is not part of it.
I did figure out that when your parts washer is outside, it is best to already have the door open when you start out with both hands full of greasy parts.
I was lucky finding my speed reducer and tiller separately for reasonable prices, and for friends that made some necessary repairs I could not. normally the complete reducer is around 500 to 700, and a usable tiller about the same.
