8. Reinstall the transmission drive pulley with the new belts.
9. Reassemble the tiller in the reverse order in which it was
disassembled.
NOTE: When reinstalling the belt cover, be sure to engage the
bail and hold it so that the drive belt is tight before attempting
to reinstall the belt cover. This will enable the belt to fall under
the belt keeping mechanism built into the belt cover. Failure
to do so could damage the belt and/or belt cover.
Tines
The tines will wear with use and should be inspected at the
beginning of each tilling season and after every 30 operating
hours. The tines can be replaced. Refer to the Illustrated Parts List
manual for part numbers and ordering instructions.
Tine Inspection
With use, the tines will become shorter, narrower and pointed.
Badly worn tines will result in a loss of tilling depth, and reduced
effectiveness when chopping up and turning under organic matter.
Removing/Installing a Tine Assembly & Tines
1. Remove the tine shield by removing the hex lock screw and
flat washers secruing it to the transmission on each side.
2. A tine assembly consists of a tine bracket and three tines.
There are two tine assemblies on the tiller a RH assembly
(Part No. 642-05032) and a LH assembly (642-05033).
NOTE: Marking the tines and taking note of the different
RH and LH assemblies will make re-installing the
assemblies properly easier.
3. To remove a tine assembly, simply remove the hex screw
and flange lock nut as seen in "Figure 7-6". Remove the hex
screw and slide the assembly off the tine shaft.

4. Before reinstalling the tine assembly, inspect the tine
shaft for rust, rough spots or burrs. Lightly file or sand, as
needed. Apply a thin coat of grease to the shaft.
