I just traded one of my cubs for a 1A tiller. When you turn the pulley it will spin fairly easy but start to bind up. spin it the other way and it will spin okay until the same spot as the last time, and just get tighter and tighter until you can't spin it at all. Is there a bearing or chain rusted keeping it from turning? Have the same problem with a #1 tiller as well. Any help is appreciated. If need be I'll stick them in the basement and pull the cases open and diagnose them. If possible what year could it be? the tag says 1A U1111.
