7 hp pony b & s ...bolts backed out on brg. cap at tine drive gear. Replaced gear and spacers---no drive on wheels or tines. Is there a shear pin or have the brass gear(s) bit the dust? I owned this like-new tiller one hour when this occurred so killing it has crossed my mind. Thanks in advance. JM
I only replaced the brg. and put it back together.....the shaft must be turning, as is pulley, 'cause tines "roll" with no torque when I engage. Belt seems properly adj.

pulley's turning, shaft's turning, tines are not. I just hoped someone had taken one apart before. I appreciate the help. I'll have to find a schematic.

Yey, but does the pulley keep turning on the bottom gearbox when the load is placed on it. I had a similar problem with my Pony. I sold it so I don't have the manual on it anylonger to see if there is a shear pin on it or not. Also check and see if front pulley is screwed onto the shaft to the gear box. If the bolts came out of the back they may also have come out of the pulley up front. It could also have the key missing off the shaft that holds the front pully in place. Have someone with a flashlight watch while you run the tines and see if the pully keeps turning and the shaft stops in the pully. Be carefull when you check it.

Is the drive belt correctly installed and adjusted on the front of the gearbox? Does the forward reverse lever operate correctly? Did you inspect the internal gears when it was apart for any damage?

I did not not resolve my problem, instead I went to bed! I will tear the whole thing down and provide results when I get them. Again thanks for the support. JM

Sounds like your shear or safety pin in your wheels or in your drive belt pulley has broken. They are put there so if you hit something hard like a stone the pin or pins will shear and save doing damage to other drive parts.If its in the wheel you have to take the drive wheel off and remove the broken one and replace with a new one. Same with the drive pulley.
if we are speaking about the shear pins on the tines, the ground is the problem and you need to begin your first pass on a more shallow setting and progress to a deeper setting gradually. if we are speaking about the shear pins on the tires w/o engaging the tines then these should not be breaking and I recommend that the tiller be examined by an authorized dealer.
belt worn and too loose, maybe pulley slipping on the shaft, shear bolts or pins broke on tines. worse case sheared key in tranny case for drive gears.
That will happen when the tines are engaged while the wheels are in Neutral as the tines simply drive the whole machine forward without the drag of the wheels being in gear. If the wheel transmission is engaged and this is still happening, then you have need for repair.

Did you ever find a solution to removing your tiller wheel ? I have the same problem, tried pullers, heat, hammer, Wd40, everything. I would appreciate your input. Mike. [email protected]
the tines are usually connected with shear bolts designed to break away when u hit something as a safety precaution so that u dont break anything in the transmission. its common that people dont know this and replace them with normal bolts. if this was done and the tines are not moving now chances are uve got a snapped gear shaft
