Tiller rebuild
I have a #2 tiller which is somewhat stiff to turn. It turns easily about 30 degrees (all shafts turn easily) then gets tight. I can turn it any amount, wherever it stops it will turn easily about 30 degrees.
I would like to disassemble and clean/grease/check it but have not been able to get the tubes with the times off the shafts. Any suggestions? I have soaked them with WD-40 and used a 2-jaw puller (using a 1" steel bar inside the tube so the puller pushes against the shaft). I also heated the tube with a propane torch. I am also wondering if I will be able to find any parts such as the housing gasket. I noticed there was another post about rebuilding a tiller in Aug but no responses.

First off...WD40 is useless as a penetrant. Get some PB Blaster or Kroil and soak it. There's a big chain inside that case...I wonder if one of the links has rusted stuck. If the gasket is no longer available from CC, you could always get a roll of gasket material and make your own.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
