My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.
The manual for my Sears rear tine tiller says "Once a season lubricate right hand grease fitting with 1 oz. of EP #1 grease". While doing this yesterday for the first time there did not appear to be any excess/old grease coming out anywhere, should I be concerned with putting too much grease into it?
nope, you should worry if the old grease starts to get forced out!
used to be that the line of thinking was to force out the old grease when you put new in. but the design of newer things means that you are breaking the seal when you do that.
on my tiller i have put grease in it probably 7-8 times inthe 4 years i have had it, and never yet seen any come out.
Ok, that makes sense. Sometimes it is hard to shift from neutal to any gear. Does that mean there isn't enough grease? The manual is not very explicit.
Hi jerseybob, grease away. Youhave the majority of the volume of that gearcase to fill !
NEVER leave it outside if it could get rained on, ere water goes right down the seam and rusts the innards or shift shaft.
If I had a new one, and had a sticky shifter, I would put a whole tube of a GOOD ag type grease with low viscoity and high wter reesistance into it. I use a chevron pink colored moly ep grease tht rocks!
