I've got an old 5HP Montgomery Wards tiller (from the early 80s, probably), and I cannot figure out how to get into the bearings.
You take the two bolts out and remove the little wire mesh screen, but then there's this weird thing behind the shaft that the bearings must be in that I want to lubricate (it has a small rubber gasket right on the shaft, I think it's the starter recoil bearings, or something of that nature).
