Yes, it's called Brake clean :)

Have roller chain on shelf, lots of oils and yes grease can be used when installing new gears or chain that are good for clinging to until the oil can be slung thoroughly. IMO, I only have Red line synthetic grease, which will be fine.

Thanks, in advance for pic's. I have an HR10. Like mentioned in my original post, too good to pass up. My plan is to put in a small feed strip on the edge of my field a little clover and some native and other grasses, oh and to see how my BX likes it's new toy (to it)

I was thinking that, but I still need to pull sprockets. When I compare link count and length with new I'll have a better idea.

When I opened it up was oil and water. I cleaned it out with brake cleaner and when I sealed it, I filled with a quart of hydraulic oil to make sure rotor seal didn't have oil pouring out. I'm aware that operating creates more pressure.

I was thinking about the crowns on the sprocket, and they didn't look to bad but, I hadn't worked on roller chains and sprockets for a while. I have a replacement chain on the shelf. I was figuring if I needed to pull sprockets to shorten or replace chain I'd take care of them at the same time...

Yes, sorry for being long winded. I was planning on putting a 1/2 longer tensioner bolt so I can use jam nut. If someone can suggest how one may locate sprocket with the information I posted?

Hi, started a new post on my Howard HR10, got a good deal and I'm still having fun. As you can see chain has a little slack in it and out of adjustment bolt length with jam nut. I was thinking, could that be the sprockets getting worn! If I length the adjustment bolt (.50 jam nut thickness)...

Helo again, I have a chain question for your input. What I've read on internet about how much chain tenison is needed on different rotavators /rototillers none on Howards, most have said is to tighten until resistance and back off about one turn until free. The picture (2) I posted is just the...

Rivnuts , insert a-thread, by different names, depending on manufacture. Oop for to mention to OP. Nice and tighty looking job. On the Kubota ROPS the factory holes except a 5/16 insert-a-thread/rivnutm I like how you plugged your unused hole. I like, thanks for sharing

Well, was able to mockup tiller today and set my lower link points. Plan on fitting to tractor tomorrow to measure what size series 4 PTO shaft with slip clutch, they usually break between 31.5 - 41" and then up for second grouping. The more time I work on this tiller I see things that need a...

great, a little more work then I believed at first. Can I ask, what level of oil in gear box. I see there's a dip stick, up to top of flat? Do you know where a person could find a user's/operator manual?

It is a beast, the BX could never reach it's dept. maybe in three passes. Right now, I only need to repair the skid loader tracks/trail coming out of woods and across my front lawn. Lost a very proud cedar, it was here before me moving in, in 1975.

Well I finally got the slip clutch flange off. Sometimes anti-seize (IMO) would of prevented for out door equipment storage. Grease works for a time if you periodically separate parts. It took a 20 inch cheater bar with a 8 inch puller assisted by an 8 lbs. it finally creeped off. Took all my...

thanks
