Replacing a Single Tine

Remove the two screws and nuts that attach a single tine

to the tine holder. If needed, use penetrating oil to help

free the nuts. See Fig. 7-9.

When installing a single tine, be sure to position it so that

its cutting edge will enter the soil first as the tiller moves

forward.

Removing a Tine Assembly

If removing both tine assemblies, mark them “left” and

“right” before removal. Doing so will help ensure that the

assemblies are reinstalled on the correct sides of the tiller.
Remove the screw and locknut that secure the tine

assembly to the tine shaft. See Fig. 7-10. Pull the tine

assembly off the shaft (if necessary, use a rubber mallet to

tap the tine assembly outward).

Before reinstalling the tine assembly, inspect the tine shaft

for rust, rough spots or burrs and file or sand as needed.

Apply a thin coat of grease to the shaft.
Install each tine assembly so that the cutting edge of the

tines will enter the soil first when the tiller moves forward.

Secure the tine assembly to the tine shaft using the screw

and locknut previously removed. Tighten securely.
