rs07 Posted October 24, 2004 Posted October 24, 2004 Finally found some time yesterday to replace the tines on my 36" tiller that goes on my A-C 916H. Wow, what a difference in tilling than the old worn down tines! Didn't plant anything this year, so needless to say the ground was pretty rough. I tilled my entire garden to get ready for the next growing season next spring.
gmackle Posted October 24, 2004 Posted October 24, 2004 Plant some bulbs in the garden then you have a start for a good looking garden! Take some pictures of before & after would be nice! Were the old tines hard to remove?
Dutch Posted October 24, 2004 Posted October 24, 2004 Now that the ground it loose, it would be a good time to grade and drag.
rs07 Posted October 24, 2004 Author Posted October 24, 2004 The entire replacement job wasn't too bad. I replaced the blades themselves, not the hubs. I think the hubs might fight trying to take them off. I probably would have to heat them up alittle. The bolts that hold the blades to the hubs were alittle rusty, so I sprayed them down the day before, with some "PB Blaster". That is great stuff. Then yesterday I put an impact wrench to them and had no problems.
10HorseMan Posted October 24, 2004 Posted October 24, 2004 I'm happy now that I have my 32'' running again after me and my dad rebuilt it. They beat walking behind that 17'' anyday, especially in about a mid/large sized garden
BLT Posted October 24, 2004 Posted October 24, 2004 I shapened my blades about a month ago. Everything came apart pretty easy. And this is a 32" two belt tiller. I talked to original owner and he don't remember doing anything. Anyway, it took about three hours between a couple of beers and smokin' some brats.
Chris727 Posted October 24, 2004 Posted October 24, 2004 BLT, why would you need to sharpen the tiller tines? Aren't they self sharpening?
