Tine Shear Pins; Adjust Wheels For Cultivating; Outer/Inner View Of Tire - Craftsman 917.299080 Owner's Manual

TINE SHEAR PINS
The tine assemblies on your tiller are
secured to the tine shaft with shear pins
(See "TINE REPLACEMENT" in the
Service and Adjustments section of this
manual).
If the tiller is unusually overloaded or
jammed, the shear pins are designed to
break before internal damage occurs to
the transmission.
• If shear pin(s) break, replace only with
those shown in the Repair Parts section
of this manual.
