Be sure when you put the seals in, mine were in different directions ... one kept oil in, one kept dirt out ... not sure if that's factory or if the p/o did that...they were leaking so....might not be so good...I did put put them back like that, and the the new seals don't leak. However I have a pulley shaft seal leaking now...

I was told the same thing....however, on this tiller the seals were both the same way....not sure what is best....there was a space a little space between the seals....do you think grease would help between the seals??? Without lubrication I would think the outer seal would not last too long...

Here is an example of the D series tine...left side which I think is looking at the rear of the tiller....it curves to the left side....

I don't think using some grease would hurt a thing. Actually I think it's a great idea...and I'm sorry I didn't think of it when i did mine

They say there hardened and coated. Maybe worth it.

If I am reading it right hardened and coated would run about 18$

So I ordered a tine from this outfit.....

Actually I ordered 3.....I need a left so I ordered an extra left and a right for spares.....so I got 3 plus shipping was less than 30 bucks.....I'll get some pics when they arrive....

I just got regular ones (20% discount no less).....I can face them here if I think they are needed.....I'll be plowing the ground over so I doubt I will need hardened tines.....

Thats a good deal! Are you still welding or using the bolt holes?

I have to weld this one on.....there isn't a stub to bolt it to. It is broken at the shaft....take a little grinding and bracing but I think it will be fine.... You know a guy could make a shaft up with bolt on plates and have a set of these bolt on tines....would take 12 a side...then you would be set to go....

Yea a little work up front could save in the long run. Is the D set-up that way?
