Pulled the other inside tine assembly from the de-rusting tank and hand wire brushed it and set aside to dry for a day. I wasn't going to do this but they were pretty bad looking and the electrolysis helped remove a lot of rust. I had to clean up the 1.25 inside dia. with a drill to make sure it was going to slip on the tiller drive shaft. Tried it and it fits real well.
I have taken apart the gear box assembly for the rear of the tractor and have the frame that mounts on the rear end ready to clean up in the tank. Removed the set screws from the pulley and used the air hammer on the shaft technique to quickly and easily slide the shaft from the pulley. I had not used that before and the idea is a good one and works very well!
I will be priming and painting the tine assemblies black this week. I need to get those on and then can set up the rest of the tiller.
Hope things are good in Cub land. I will try to get some pictures when I get the tine assemblies back on.
Regards,
Chris
