    Do you have any advice on the shifter being intermittent? It is in a different place every time and had sheered the pin on the selector several times.

      My guess is that the internal shift mechanism is full of rust corrosion.

    I just rant my TR314 and it ran for about 5 ft and then the drive stopped. I think a gear got messed up in the transmission. UGGG. Tines work fine, but it won't go into F or R, and when I try to roll it, it rolls for a few feet then locks up, and then I turn it around and pull, rolls for a few feet and then locks up.

      Oh, that's not good. They are chain drive inside the transmission housing. One chain drives the axle for the wheels, and a second chain drives the tines. It's not uncommon to break either of the chains, especially on machines that are used in tough or rocky soil conditions. If you're handy at spinning wrenches, you can repair it yourself, and the chain is just standard industrial type link chain, so you can either order it as the actual part for the machine, or go to a place like NAPA auto parts, or maybe a motorcycle shop, and purchase the correct number of links and physical size of chain, and a new master link, and make your own chain. The inside of the transmission is simply packed with grease, like you'd use to grease zerks on the suspension of an old car or truck. So you can leave the grease in there, and work around it, and then throw a few handfuls of fresh grease in, before you put the case halves back together. The only real challenge to the job is getting the belt side wheel to come off the axle (or both wheels to come off), because they like to rust in place.
      Part number for the chain: Husqvarna 532102134

      @@austinado16 Thanks, I plant to do it tomorrow. The machine has been so little use that it the tires still have the little rubber antennas still. The wheels came off easy. I'm surprised that the chain seized and broke from rust.

      @@christhompsonphotography6783 It'll be interesting to see what you find on the inside. Hopefully you can just install a chain, and put it back together, and there's no other damage.

      These, and the Craftsman brand were all made by AYP, "American Yard Products" and I think Electrolux owns it all.
      If you go to ebay and search Craftsman Rototiller Tines, the standard L shaped tine sets are still available. There's a left and right, so when you purchase a set, you get both. But they need to be installed correctly, or it will not till the soil at all.

      @@wildbenny11 You may have to get creative, and also purchase the mounting hub for the L style, either used or new. Use your model number and look up the parts online at www.partstree.com and then see if you can work out what pieces from a Craftsman you would need.

    My machine works great, but when i try to engage the tines to spin forward there is a grinding noise then the machine stalls out and dies. However the time will spin reverse totally fine. Any idea whats wrong?

      I'm guessing the transmission has been damaged internally.

      @@Hill_Billy_Without_A_Hill My suggestion is to go to the DR website, click on PARTS, then find the grouping for their rototillers, and purchase via their part number, either through them (Generac), or crossing that number to a belt from Stens or maybe AYP (Husqvarna), etc. You can probably also use the DR number to find out the dimension, and then purchase the belt that way. Once you have the dimension, you could even get it from a place like NAPA auto parts, just make sure you tell them that you need a "Wrapped Belt," so that you get a fabric covered industrial use belt, and not a bare rubber automotive belt(which would just burn up, and be dangerous because it would not allow the machine to run in a neutral position, either for drive, or for tine function).
      DR's part number for the DRT tiller is: 416021 and it's a 4XLP1308 size belt.
      The Husqvarna belt part number crosses to a Rotary brand belt: 12-9765 It is 1/2" wide by 52" long Part number: 132801
      I do not know if the Husqvarna DRT machine uses the same belt as the DR. I've worked on many, of both, but never compared belts.
