Colt Case Ingersoll Garden Tractors

I got all of the use out of those bearings.

I don't know Eugene, have you perhaps considered a little wd40 before going all out on it?

There might be a little life left in the tines.

Time to repack the bearings

Not sure but the tines look alright. @Spike188 do you know the type of bearings in that location?

@Eugen there is no identification on the bearings. I will checkbwith my local supplier tomorrow morning I will post what they find.

This might be helpful

I found this Fafnir # RA104 in the way back machine. Check if it matches up.

Tines, old vs new.

Well, big difference, thanks for posting that. I'd have never known if mine are used too much, now I know.

Way back when I just started out gardening someone gave me an old front tine tiller. The tines were very worn and having a family with very little extra money. So being a welder fabricator I took them to work and welded some hard facing on the edges of the tines. They were still in good shape when I gave it to my brother. Harry

Wow... I can't say I've ever seen a CCI rototiller with tines as nice as those new ones... Certainly not any of mine

This will be nice when you get it done I'm sure. I've gotta get around to tearing down my extra HT41 sometime this summer.

Believe me: those tines have a lot of wear left in them. Those tines are still doing a good job when the tines are very pointed and sharp! I used to till gardens until a few years ago tines were hard to get.

Over night from my local bearing supplier. $18.36 CD for bearing with locking ring.

Your bearing supplier is very good!!!

The inner bearing race required cutting to split the chain case. Once the case was split, it was cleaned. New bearings, a new chain and fresh grease applied. New hydraulic hoses and all new tined make this unit good for another 45 years.

Looks Great - Nice to see inside the chain case when you had it open... simple and robust design.

Take that Stubborn bearing, you can't beat the Flame wrench.

Great fixing Eugene! I agree, that's good for another half life!

A short rain about 9 am . Tilled a fresh flower bed just now. The rebuilt tiller is awesome. In untilled sod it broke it up without pushing the tractor forward. It would inch along with a slight nudge of the pedal. We broke out about 50 feet for a new flower bed rain is predicted for this afternoon.

A tiller with missing tines had the center "ripper" . It was added to the rebuild and set at the same radius depth of the tines. The ripper addition probably created enough drag, holding the tiller from pushing the tractor.

Must be nice Eugene, to see the work you put in the tiller giving success good results! Yay!

The equipment and ground both look great@Spike188 !
Looking forward to some pictures of flowers blooming!
