I was given this 48" tiller. Cost me a some gas to haul my loader tractor about 30 miles to pull it out of an old fence row. I'm enough of a shade tree welder to repair this.
There is no slip clutch just a bolt in the PTO shaft to gear box connection. I suspect that the PO used too hard a bolt and this is where it failed.
Questions:
Is my assumption correct or is this, pictured, the "shear bolt" protection?
The PTO shaft to gear box is 1 1/4". Do they make a 1 1/4" round shaft slip clutch? I don't see one listed at Tractor or agri supply.
Are parts readily available?
