OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Repairs and Maintenance Question on Digging Equipment Rotary Hoes & Tillers ID Another Rotary Hoe

Gday

I put all the shafts in correctly, and I lubed them up well. The chains are installed and I put the wheels on, but when I engage the clutch the wheels lock up. I noticed when I moved the lever the whole body of the rotary hoe slid left on the axle. How do I stop this and get the clutch to fully engage? From what I make of it, it seems the sliding axle shaft is the problem.

Cheers

dim03,

The shaft on the axle should not move at all if you have installed it correctly. The dog clutch is the only thing that should slide.

Turns out I forgot to install the end bearing locks... oops.

dimo3,

I have now closed this topic as it appears you have fixed your machine.
