Ariens rear tine tiller. What direction are the

Depends in the machine. The Troy Bilt tillers rotate tines in the same direction as the drive wheels.

A few manufacturers chose to "counter rotate" and the tines rotate in the opposite direction of the drive wheels.

close the needle valve completely, then back it off 1.5 turns. Adjust from there for most efficient fuel usage.

-Check the locking bolt that hold the tine shaft to the main shaft. Possibly it's broken. If so replace new bolt. you should be good to go again.


Good Luck

YOUR PROBABLY HAVE A GEAR CHEWED UP?CONTACT CHOOCHOOPARTS.COM FOR DIAGRAM? DID YOU CHECK OIL...IF OUT OF OIL IN REAR TINE TRANSM ...YOU CHEWED UP THE BRASS GEAR ....I REBUILT MY MAIN TRANSM...EASY TO WORK ON...AWESOME MACHINES.

It is going to be a transmission issue. You can try with the engine off, turning the trans pully by hand in the opposite direction that the motor was turning it.
Some gears in the trans got crossed up and locked.

you have to get someone with a big tractor to "break" the ground up first. A tiller is just that...Not a plow

Not really sure what you're asking, but counter rotating tines turn the opposite direction you're traveling.

You likely have a clutch problem, never saw one that a simple adjustment would fix. I'd take off the tiller (there are two bolts that hold the tiller portion to the transmission, and check to make sure the clutch is sliding in and out. My hunch is either the lever is loose on the shaft or the allen-head little bolt that they use to shift the clutch has come out. Be sure to grease the clutch while you're in there.

This should be covered in your owners manual. Shame on them if they didn't mention this.

DEpending on the machine you can take the tines off and turn it around. The only other thing to do is get into the tranny and see why it is going into reverse gear and not forward operating. This sounds like it is a trans problem so even switching the tines around will help it will not solve the problem until it is looked at

they should point inwards and towards the rear of the machine
