josephd2212 2 #1 Posted February 26, 2020 I aquired a tiller, thinking it is 77-36TL01. I had to modify how it hooked up to the tractor; hacked it all apart, fit it together and welded it all back. Everything is working now and I used it a little the other day to test everything. The gear case has a lot of buildup on it and there is signs of bas seals around the drive pyulley shaft. I want to take it apart and replace all my seals. What fluid should be used in the gear case on these old tillers? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

peter lena 8,583 #4 Posted February 26, 2020 i would try to run this , either with a seperate motor , pulley belt set up or on the horse just to stir up the oil for flushing . valvoline has a good 67-140 synthetic for that . a diesel fuel or kerosene flush , i use atf fluid , is a good crud cutter ,and flushing out the moisture and just running in a cleaning lube is easily worth doing. good opportunity for a thorough ,base line maintenance check , pete Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
josephd2212 2 #5 Posted February 26, 2020 good point peter! I did purchase a grease and oil cleaner becuase I am sandblasting and painting the tiller after I get everything back together and running well. I will give it a flush before i tear it down. I can gaurantee it has moisture inside becuase I had to put the torpedo heater on it in the middle of the winter, to be able to rotate the gears when I was fitting everything onto the tractor. 19 minutes ago, peter lena said: i would try to run this , either with a seperate motor , pulley belt set up or on the horse just to stir up the oil for flushing . valvoline has a good 67-140 synthetic for that . a diesel fuel or kerosene flush , i use atf fluid , is a good crud cutter ,and flushing out the moisture and just running in a cleaning lube is easily worth doing. good opportunity for a thorough ,base line maintenance check , pete 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
