- Craftsman rear tine tiller repair - stuck gears.
Free tiller but only works when in forward gear. All others do nothing and cannot even shift it into the forward with tines as the rod will not move. Took it all apart and will replace grease and gasket and see if works.

I bought a Husky this like this, it ran for about 5 ft before the chain broke. :D Thanks for making this video.
Would be nice if you showed the full disassembly process.
Yeah I picked one too. Same as this, condition. 5 HP Briggs Engine runs strong on go cart now
my selector shaft was stuck, took the whole box apart etc, all clean inside. I just needed to work external and heat and spray the shaft with a peregrinating oil. Just knock out the captive pin that holds the top part on, heat, lube, knock it , repeat till free.
that is penetrating oil, speller comes up strange fixes
I worked on one of these gearboxes years ago, broken drive chain to the tires,
Mayor problem was getting the wheels off the axles, but with enough time effort and heat from a torch,
I finally got it,
Still running today, I just filled gearbox with grease
I keep my tiller in the barn so it did not have rust and water inside gearbox,
I just snapped my primary drive chain which is smaller than the other chains. Did you notice a crazy amount of slack in the thicker chain that goes from the primary drive sprocket to the tine sprocket? I’m wondering if that’s a precursor for why my drive chain snapped. Thanks
Nice job getting this guy back to an operational point.
Do you have the link where you found the drawing of the gears?
Has it been setting outside
I just picked one up and it drives forward & reverse perfectly fine. It will engage the tines but as soon as there is any resistance whatsoever to the tines they stop and you get an odd, i don't want to say grinding, but almost a grinding noise. Any idea?
There is a ball detent and a compression spring that is suppose to hold pressure to keep the machine in gear. I believe the spring is way to light. I actually had to clamp a vise-grip on the shifting linkage to keep mine from popping out of gear.
It’s a big job but it’s easy after the first one 😊😊😊
My craftsman rear tine tiller 917.299690 wheels locked up while tilling
This is the same model, manufactured by MTD. The Husqvarna 700DRT is another tiller that uses the same gear case/frame. The gear selector is likely the problem
I have one of these and it’s been total junk since day one. Doesn’t want to shift.
So the only way to get to the drive gear shaft is to remove the engine huh? I have an mtd rear tiller that isn't going in front drive unfortunately.
They all look like this if setting out side and weather conditions
Beware of the Cub Cadet RT 65 tiller! Parts are Very pricey! If the tine shaft goes bad; or the shaft bearings do;;; you must split the whole gear box due to the shaft sprocket being welded on. And the bearings are installed from the inside.
@corey Slater we got ours from www.searspartsdirect.com/ it was the cheapest after shipping for us but if just get the model number off the sticker (for the tiller not the motor) and google there are a few other places that come up that have the diagrams and part numbers.
How do u check grease in gear box, or can u drill a hole in the top part of gear box and make a place to add oil, or just tap add a grease surt add pump grease in be better than no grease and getting water in it.. thanks great video 👍
I suppose you could do any of those but it shouldn't need anything. The reason ours had so much water was because there was not a gasket. The guy we bought it from took it apart and looked at it decided to not fix it and then let it sit outside for a year. The bolts were not even tight.
After buying one of these tillers I will never buy craftsman again, terrible design.
Hey guys I have a ariens rear tiller and if you lift the machine off the ground I can push the tires back and fourth. question is; how is the axle connected to the sprocket in side? its broken down and shaft has rubber piece attached but that's not attached to the sprocket.thanks for any helpWalt
inside is a bunch of gears and sprockets and a couple chains they all work together. depending on what gear you select it moves the wheels forward or reverse or both wheela and tines. I have two other videos that show the inside and gears better.
I have one that I put into the barn about 3 years ago and it ran perfectly fine. 3 years later it starts right up but I can't get it to shift from neutral into any of the gears. Should I just fill it up with grease or do you think it's something more?
Likely rusted inside. I have mine apart now because it broke the time drive chain. So far I have pulled out 7 needle bearings. 4 different parts#’s of bearings. Poor design allows water and grit to get inside the case. The factory grease is clay based. Till recently I had never heard of clay based grease. I’ll be putting marine grease in once I get new bearings.
What is the model number of this?
Hi, I'm working on the same tiller but I'm having a problem separating the case. Was there any lock ring or something around the axle that turns the wheels? I'm just trying not to bend the case.
Thanks
not that I remember... one of the pieces I think had a c-clip but that was all once all the bolts and stuff off it came apart rather easy.
S L 6 u
How many bottles of grease did u use
I do not remember but probably no more than 2 full size tubes.
@@BigRedFishDad oh dang!!😮😮😮😮I got 4 just last night 🤣🤣🤣
@@BigRedFishDad thanks buddy
How do you get the wheels off? I took all the pins out of it already. It seems that the wheels are stuck on the axle. Any suggestions?
Old coinchaser your wheels are rusted on. Take a piece of wood or something go to the one side put it under the gear box then into the opposite wheel. Then hammer. Could add some lubricant like pb blaster
Stan Petrikis .... Thanks. I got them off. I lubricated them up and used a 3 jaw puller. Was tough but got them off. It will be easier from here on out. Thanks again.
Old coinchaser ok good. I had the pleasure last week and was a treat
What kaind the oil need transmission please ?
grease.... no oil.
@@BigRedFishDad there is a glass site hole on the side to see the oil level
Mine will not shift from neutral to forward or reverse. Any suggestions on what I should look at first
Rusted shaft that moves the part he pointed to. It isn’t broken, it’s made that way to move a gear up and down to go from R-F-N- F-R.
best
What website did you buy parts from ?
That’s what I’d like to know too? E-Replacement has very few parts most are obsolete so yeah it’d be nice if he shared
I'm having the same shifting problem. Can you tell me where you ordered the parts from?
Amazon has them
@@philliphall5198 it took 7 years to get this reply. I ended up opening the case, cleaning rust off the appropriate gears, greasing things like crazy, and using gasket sealer to seal it all up again. Still working too but it may be time to do it again soon.
I have the exact same one. But not a fucking chance am I stripping it. I’d never getter back together
Its taken me two years to put mine back together and thats mostly because of the horrible diagrams in the owners manual
These are not even worth repairing. It's best to just repurpose the engine.
Craftsman...Sears junk...shoot some WD-40 down the selector shaft and voila...no need to tear the junk apart...Sears demise...
Yes I took my whole box apart to only find I could of fixed with your fix and no take apart
LOL. Fuck no. Never have worked. Lawl.
split ring tool. lol. screwdriver.
