Sears tillers set the standard for tilling performance. Heavy duty engines and strong times help you prepare garden soil for planting with ease. When your Sears tiller acts up, get the repair parts you need to fix the problem from Sears PartsDirect.
Clevis pin. The clevis pin is a shear pin that couples the tines to the rotating tine shaft. The clevis pin is designed to shear off if the tines hit a fixed object during cultivation to prevent damage to the engine and other tiller components.
Clutch cable. The clutch cable connects the clutch control arm to the drive system in the tiller. The clutch cable also controls the drive system on the tiller.
Depth stake. The depth stake is a metal stake attached to the tiller near the tines. Raise or lower the depth stake to control the tilling depth.
Drive belt. The drive belt is a heavy-duty belt that connects the engine pulley to the transmission to drive components such as the wheels and the tines.
What to do when tines won't turn but wheels turn on your Sears tiller
If the wheels on your tiller move but the tines don't spin, you may need to replace tine shaft clevis pins or replace the transmission.
The tiller's transmission drives the wheels and the tine shaft, so you'll likely need to replace the transmission when the wheels spin but the tine shaft doesn't move.
If the tine shaft turns but the tines don't spin, check the tine shaft clevis pins. The clevis pins are shear pins that connect the tines to the rotating tine shaft. The clevis pins are designed to shear off if the tines hit a fixed object during cultivation to prevent damage to the engine and other tiller components. Replace broken tine shaft clevis pins to restore tine rotation.
