Hossie 3 point tiller last drive power to the tines

old · May 3, 2022

So got a call to look at a 3 point till that lost drive power. It has a hex drive that goes into a gear that in turn drives 2 other gears and drives the tines. The hex drive that goes in to the upper gear looks ot be twisted and stripped. It appear to not have even been inside the gear more the maybe 1/2 inch. It also appears that one could cut off the bad part and then slide the shaft back in.

So have any of you ever worked on one of these and does that sound about right??

Thanks

If the shaft or hitch can be made long enough, or the hitch shorter, there should be no reason it wouldn't work. what holds it in? Jim

The shaft that has stripped out goes the full way across the tiller. It slips into the 90 degree gear box which makes the PTO drive go from front to back to side to side. The hex shaft is held in to the drive gear on the side by a lock collar. My thinking is that I can cut the bad part of the shaft off and bevel the end to make it easy to get started then drive the shaft into the drive gear and put the lock collar back in place to hold it where it should be. I've never worked on something like this but seem to be a simple design
